XYF_DISPLAY_OPENGL

XYF_DISPLAY_OPENGL, a C++ code which reads XYF information defining points and faces in 2D, and draws a picture using OPENGL.

The point and face information is stored in a pair of files, called the XYF format. Essentially, the first file stores a list of point coordinates, and the second lists point indices which can be connected to form faces.

Usage:

xyf_display_opengl prefix

• prefix is the common prefix for the point coordinate data in prefix.xy and the point index lists in prefix.xyf.
