S2PLOT:HowTo
From S2PLOT
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.
