HP-83/85 Graphics Presentations Pac Disk

Description

The Series 80 Graphics Presentations Pacs allow you to create text, line, bar and pie charts of the quality normally possible only by professional artists. Charts for professional quality reports and presentations can be generated quickly and easily, on acetate or paper, using either of the Series 80 Graphics Presentations Pacs. The HP-86/87 version of the pac takes advantage of the large graphics display and allows te user to see exactly what will appear on the chart prior to plotting. The HP-86/87 version also allows charts to be stored as graph files and inserted into memos, reports etc. via the WORD/80 Application Pac.

• Text Charts: Choose from six character styles in nine sizes. Four pen colors may be used and several highlighting capabilities are available. The HP-86/87 version supports several foreign character sets, and allows the user to do LINE and ARC drawing.
• Line Charts: An excellent tool for depicting trends or other relationships between two factors, line charts are easily created using the Graphics Presentations Pac. Up to six lines may be plotted on a single chart with each line including up to 24 points. Titles and subtitles may be included and axes labels may be upright or slanted.
• Bar Charts: Normal, stacked and clustered bar charts may be created. Bar may have negative values and may be hatched in several styles or filled in solid colors. Choose from upright or slanted axes labels.
• Pie Charts: Pie charts are used to graphically illustrate how several individual components relate to their whole. The Graphics Presentations Pac allow creation of one or two pie charts on a single page, and each pie may include up to 24 slices, each of which may be hatched or solid filled. Optional percentage labeling and upright or slanted labels are available.

After creating a few slides and charts with the manual as a reference, the user will be able to proceed by following the instructions and messages contained in the Graphics Presentations program.

Instructions

Note: Make sure that the Volume name on the diskette is GRAPHP, otherwise, automatic loading of programs will not work. The file names of the programs in these directories may have been changed because of incompatibilities between either the Unix or the DOS/Windows filesystems. Essentially, spaces and "/" characters were converted to "_" and .BIN extensions were added to the files. Use the following table to locate the correct Series-80 filename when transferring the file back to the LIF floppy. Finally, be sure to read the instructions for transferring programs and data from your workstation to your Series 80 computer.

If you have the ability to create a floppy from a binary image, here is the entire diskette image: HP85-GraphicsPresentationsPac.BIN.
