INSTALL

1. Edit Makefile
   *  change INCDIR, LFLAGS and MOC variables defined at

      proper paths to the qt and X11 libraries
      
      
2. Edit Fonts
   *  in fonts2.h, change the fonts to your liking 
      (Helvetica, Times, etc)
   *  Bitstream vera sans (antialiased) is the default
      
      
3. Compile NodPlot
   *  make clean
   *  make     
   *  su root (enter password)
   *  ./Install (to install nodplot in /usr/local/bin and 
                 /usr/local/src and /usr/local/doc; note: if you wish
                 to install to a different path, just edit the PREFIX
                 variable defined at the top of the bash script "Install") 


4. Test NodPlot 
   *  nodplot -i dataeg.npl


5. Create a 3D data file for NodPlot
   *  nodplot -help   to get code templates in C, Pascal and Fortran 77
                      showing how to create a nodplot data file


6. Specify default geometry
   * edit ~/.cshrc and add the following line for a default window size of 600 by 500
     alias nodplot 'nodplot -geometry 600x500'
   * if you use the bash shell, then edit instead ~/.bashrc
