NAME

       qgle -- A Graphical Interface to GLE

SYNOPSIS

       qgle

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the qgle.

       This  manual  page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has docu-
       mentation built into the application.

       qgleqgle is a graphical interface to GLE.  The current GUI contains a preview window that can receive messages from  GLE  and  display  the
       resulting EPS file.  In addition, it can open GLE and EPS files directly (using Ghostscript and GLE).  It now has the capability to add and
       edit simple objects, such as, lines, circles and arcs (snapping to a grid if required). It  can	also  change  various  properties  of  the
       objects, such as, line width, and color. The perpendicular line and tangential line commands can be used to produce a line starting perpen-
       dicular or tangential to an existing object.  OSnap can be used for the end point of a line.

NAME

       gle - Graphics Layout Engine

SYNOPSIS

       gle [options] file.gle ...

DESCRIPTION

       GLE  (Graphics  Layout  Engine) is a graphics scripting language designed for creating publication quality graphs, plots, diagrams, figures
       and slides. GLE supports various graph types (function plots, histograms, bar graphs, scatter plots, contour  lines,  color  maps,  surface
       plots,  ...)  through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More complex output can be created by relying on GLE's scripting lan-
       guage, which is full featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control. GLE relies on LaTeX for text output and supports mathematical
       formulea in graphs and figures. GLE's output formats include EPS, PS, PDF, JPEG, and PNG.
