MOVIES, plotting and printing of output from serial calculations.

A description is given of four digital computer programs for displaying the output from large computer calculations which repeatedly evaluate a set of parameters (e.g. the system parameters at each time step of the simulation of a physical system, or during an iterative procedure.) The MOVIE program produces moving graphs on the screen of a GT40 of GT44 Dataway terminal. The PLOT program allows the user to edit a set of plot commands, view there resulting plots and save the plots and the final set of commands. The PRINT program prints output data on the main printer. IPRINT prints data at the terminal. The data base for all these programs is a dump file written by inserting calls to two supplied subroutines in the original serial calculations
