The following series of How Tos show you how to solve a range of common visualisation problems with S2PLOT. They are not intended to provide a complete user guide to all the functionality of S2PLOT, and should be supplemented by looking at the Function List.

Choose from either C, Fortran or Python categories depending on your preferred programming mode. The How Tos assume that you have a working, a tested, version of S2PLOT installed on your system, and that you have suitable compilers available.

How To ... in C

• Getting started
• Drawing points
• Drawing lines
• Drawing circles and disks
• Drawing text
• Creating callbacks
• Selecting via handles
• Dragging handles
• Colours and colour maps
• create, modify and travel along a camera flight path
• draw and save specific views of a model / visualisation
• wrap a large-area FITS file on to the celestial sky
• Make textures transparent
• Use an OpenGL callback function
• Follow an object with the camera
• use panels
• S2PLOT coordinate systems: world coordinates, screen coordinates

How To ... without (much) programming

• Run an existing S2PLOT program over a background image
• "Script" key presses for S2PLOT
• Create an s2slides presentation
• Convert images to textures
• Create and embed 3-d figures in PDF files
