SOURCE CODE AVAILABILITY
Two source code packages are available:
The source code for the QuikGrid grid generation
and contouring source code as free software
has been available for quite some time under the terms of theGNU Lesser General Public License as published
by the Free Software Foundation ( http://www.gnu.org).
This source code is available here (qgsorc05.zip: 30k). The files
in this .zip file contain the C++ source code for the grid generator
(called xpand) and contouring routine (called contour). Also included
is a small demo program that demonstrates the use of the functions by
generating a small grid and contouring a contour line. I have compiled
and tested this code using Borland C++ under MS Windows and also under
UNIX (Linux). I have also had reports that it compiles and works
correctly using Microsoft VC. Version 2 reflects changes to allow it to
run under UNIX. See the readme file for full details. Version 3
includes a description of the algorithm in the readme file. Version 4
corrects a bug in the grid generation code. Version 5 removes a comment
from the readme.txt file that might be interpreted as limiting the
scope of the Lesser General Public License.
Download this source file if you are only interested in the grid
generation code and/or the contouring code. It has been compiled and
used on a greater variety of compilers than the full source code to
QuikGrid.
Version 2 of the full source code for the entire QuikGrid
program, Version 5.3, is now available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
This source code is available here (qgsorcall02: 500k). The
files in this .zip file include the C++ code, a copy of the Borland IDE
file (quikgrid.ide) the help file documentation and my internals documentation. This
was implemented and has been maintained using Borland C++ compilers,
most recently version 5.0b (1996). At this time I don't know if anyone
has managed to implement it using some other compiler or under Linux or
what difficulties might be encountered.
