Using MONGO

MONGO is an interactive graphics program that can be used to create high quality graphics with a minimum of effort. There is also a programming library written in Fortran.

To compile a Fortran program with the library subroutines, use the following compile statement:
f77 program.f -o program -lmongo
where "program.f" is the name of the program, and the executable will have the same name (without the suffix).

We do have a local modification. The default behavior of MONGO is to send hardcopy directly to the default printer. We've added two new commands, to be executed before running MONGO, that can change this:

diskmongo
Will send hardcopy to a file called "figure.ps" in your current directory. Rename this file to prevent it from being overwritten on the next invocation of MONGO. You need run "diskmongo" only once per session.
initmongo
Will revert to the original behavior; output sent directly to the printer.
