Abstract

This paper introduces a new kind of graphic page maker concept for curve drawing. The implemented tool is designed to handle scientific data, but the underlying structure enables it to be adapted to any kind of curve drawing. This tool is a filter translating numerical input data into a page of curves following a given page layout. The input data format is very flexible and the page layout is hierarchically split into sub elements. This hierarchy is displayed and can be modified in a specially designed editor. The tool is built with object oriented design allowing easy improvement. This feature has been tested, we have successfully added some new friendly objects, so future implementation is discussed.
