Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: Engineering Drawing Utilities, Version 1.0
DESCRIPTION:
The Engineering Drawing Utilities are FORTRAN callable drawing subroutines designed to give a user enhanced control over graphics display and plotting devices. The utilities are available under the RSX-11 M
and VAX/VMS operating systems. The library includes subroutines which allow the application
programmer to create relatively complex graphic output in an efficient manner. The calls can be directed
to any of the following device types:
• DECgraphic refresh displays (VT11 or VS60 based),
via the FORTRAN Graphics Package. See SPD
15.B1.x.
• Pen Plotters (Calcomp), via the Pen Plotter Utilities.
See SPD No. 1S.53.x.
• Electrostatic Printer Plotter (Versatec) via the Electrostatic Plotting utilities. See SPD No. 15.52.x.
The following sections describe the key subroutines
available. The user is provided considerable flexibility
in defining user's units or plotter units (of measurements), absolute or relative movements, etc.

BASIC Symbol Drawing Commands:
These commands allow basic geometric symbols to
be drawn with a single call and include:
ARC
CIRCLE
RECTANGLE
ELIPSE
PARABOLA
POLYGON
HYPERBOLA
DASHED LINES
PARALLEL LINES
UTILITY Drawing Commands
In addition to the basic commands, the library contains comprehensive utility calls to aid in efficient
drawing creation, including:
FIG - Draws a continuous line through several points
FIGX - Draws a continuous line through pOints
whose Y-coordinates are at set increments.
FIGY Draws a continuous line through pO.ints
whose X-coordinates are at set increments.
NORTH - Draws a north arrow
POINTR - Draws pOinters for notes, etc.
XAXIS - Draws an axis parallel to the plotter X-axis
YAXIS - Draws an axis parallel to the plotter Y-axis
OBAXIS - Draws an axis at any angle of orientation

SPD 15.54.0

GRID - Draws a grid of horizontal and vertical lines
LOGAX - Draws a logarithmic axis
CALAX - Draws an annotated calendar scale
DIMLIN - Draws a dimension line
CENLIN - Draws a centerline
NOTE - Draws a single string of alphanumeric text
TEXT - Draws several lines of alphanumeric text
TITLE - Draws an alphanumeric title enclosed in a
box
BORDER - Draws a rectangular border of parallel
lines
XBAR - Draws a vertical bar chart given X-coordinates of data points
YBAR - Draws a horizontal bar chart given Y-coordinates of data pOints
NETWRK - Plots a network of lines between data
pOints
TRANS - Calculates coordinates for a translated
view of a figure
ROT3 - Calculates coordinates for a rotated view of
a figure
PERSP - Calculates coordinates for a two-dimensional view of a three-dimensional figure
ISOM - Calculates coordinates for an isometric view
of a three-dimensional figure
OBLQ - Calculates coordinates for an oblique view
of a three-dimensional figure
Display "Snapshot" Facility:
In a system equipped with both DECgraphics display
and a plotting device, the need frequently arises to
output the current displayed image to hard copy. To
facilitate this, a single "snapshot" call is also included
in the library. "Snapshot" will take as input any VT11
or VS60 display file and produce a plotted output via
the Pen Plotting Utilities (SPD 15.53.x), or the Electrostatic Plotting Utilities (SPD 15.52.x).
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
• Any valid RSX-11 M Version 3 or later configuration,
or any VAX/VMS, Version 1 or later configuration
• 2,200 blocks of disk space (sources, objects, and
library)
• Between 2K bytes and 5K bytes main memory, depending on usage
• Specific hardware required by the Graphics/Plotting prerequisite software
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
None

the Software Support Categories Addendum to this
SPD.
UPDATE POLICY:
Software Updates, if any, released by DIGITAL during
the one (1) year period following installation, will be
provided to the customer for a media charge (includes no installation). After the first year, updates, if
any, will be made available according to then prevailing DIGITAL policies.

ORDERING INFORMATION:

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or B in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWAAE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category A or B, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
installation within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the SOFTWARE to customer or DIGITAL will have no obligation to
install. Installation will consist of: (1) verification that all components of the SOFTWARE have been received by customer, (2)
loading the SOFTWARE, and (3) executing a DIGITAL sample procedure.
2. During the ninety (90) day period after installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the current unaltered release
of the SOFTWARE which DIGITAL determines to be a defect in the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will provide the following remedial
service (on site where necessary): (1) if the SOFTWARE is inoperable, apply a temporary correction (TC) or make a
reasonable attempt to develop an emergency by-pass, and (2) assist the customer to prepare a Software Performance
Report (SPR) and submit it to DIGITAL.
3. During the one (1) year period following installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the SOFTWARE which his
diagnosis indicates is caused by a SOFTWARE defect, the customer may submit an SPR to DIGITAL. DIGITAL will respond
to problems reported in SPRs which are caused by defects in the current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE via the
Maintenance Periodical for the SOFTWARE, which reports SPRs received, code corrections, temporary corrections, generally
useful emergency by.,.passes and/or notice of the availability of corrected code. Software Updates, if any, released by
DIGITAL during the one (1) year period, will be provided to the customer on DIGITAL's standard distribution media as
specified in the applicable SPD. The customer will be charged only for the media on which such updates are providoo,
unless otherwise stated in the applicable SPD, at DIGITAL's then current media prices.
CATEGORY B
During the one (1) year period following delivery, the services provided to the customer will be the same as set forth in 3 above.
CATEGORY C
SOFTWARE is provided on an 'as is' basis. Any software services, if available, will be provided at the then current charges.
DIGITAL shall have the right to make additional charges for any additional effort required to provide services resulting from
customer use of other than current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE operated in accordance with the SPD.
