Software tools

PrismPLOT is a general purpose plot library which is used in several of Prism's simulation tools to visualize application results.

The PrismPLOT API has been developed so that it can readily be used to provide interactive graphics within a variety of applications. PrismPLOT also functions as a stand-alone application called PrismGRAPH.

PrismPLOT has been developed using cross-platform C++ user interface (UI) software, and utilizes the OpenGL graphics application framework. The use of cross-platform UI software and OpenGL allow PrismPLOT to be supported for MS Windows, Unix, and Mac OSX platforms.
