xyl_display_opengl

xyl_display_opengl, a C++ code which reads XYL information defining points and lines in 2D, and draws a picture using OPENGL.

The point and line information is stored in a pair of files, called the XYL format. Essentially, the first file stores a list of point coordinates, and the second lists point indices to be connected in lines.

Usage:

xyl_display_opengl prefix

• prefix is the common prefix for the point and line data files.
