TABLE_BARPLOT_PPMA
PPMA Bar Graphs

TABLE_BARPLOT_PPMA is a FORTRAN90 program which reads in a data file in the TABLE format and creates a PPMA graphics file containing a bar graph version of the data.

The program has been tailored for my specific needs, so it has some quirks. First, we assume that the data file contains N rows of data, each with M items.

We are going to plot N tall skinny bars (one pixel wide!), and the bar is divided into M colors, whose relative widths reflect the relative sizes of the items.

The same scale is used for each bar, so some bars may not reach as high as others. A light gray background will show up, in that case.

Only the magnitude of the items is important.

Usage:

table_barplot_ppma file.txt

reals file.txt, a TABLE file containing N rows of data, with each row containing M values, and writes PPMA graphics to file.ppma.
