Open Source (Free) S2PLOT release 3.2.1

[David Barnes]

Hi all,

S2PLOT 3.2.1 is now available from the S2PLOT web pages: http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot/index.php?title=S2PLOT 

This is the long-awaited Open Source (Free Software) release of S2PLOT.  The license is the GPL version 3.

This release includes 3-d PDF export capability.

As usual, it helps us significantly if the use of S2PLOT for research work is acknowledged via a citation:

 # We would appreciate it if research outcomes using S2PLOT would

 # provide the following acknowledgement:

 #

 # "Three-dimensional visualisation was conducted with the S2PLOT

 # progamming library"

 #

 # and a reference to

 #

 # D.G.Barnes, C.J.Fluke, P.D.Bourke & O.T.Parry, 2006, Publications

 # of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 23(2), 82-93.

We are currently finalising a paper for (re)submission.  When that paper is accepted, it will include an Open Source S2PLOT program (xrw2pdf) which was used to generate several of the figures in the paper.  Please contact me if you would like a preview of this software.

thanks - David.
