Data visualization tool Files

Playback is a scientific data visualization/plotting software. It was developed
for aerospace and atmospheric research environment and as such support plotting
specifically for these disciplines but it is by no means limited to these and
contains many generalized plotting and data visualization capabilities.

It is capable of reading CSV and XML text files, as well as a binary format
described in the manual.

Files:

    WindowsHowTo.txt         - how to compile playback under windows
    Playback.dev             - windows DevCPP project file
    Playback_70.exe          - A compiled windows exe, note its not the most current!
    spectra.dat              - sample binary data file for trying out the spectra displays
    mermoz.dat               - sample binary data set from more generalized plotting
    mermoz.xml               - an XML version of the mermoz.dat data file.
    playback.def             - a sample defaults file (ascii text)
    Playback Data Format.doc - A some what dated user manual

Things to do:

    - Update the user manual (its pre GTK gui), note sure if it talks about CSV
      data files. It certainly doesn't contain reference to version 2 of the
      double precision binary file format (version 1 was single precision)!
    - Implement the tephigram function (ie port from old gui). 
    - Not all of the time zooming features are implemented yet.
    - A port to GTK3 would be good!

Updates: If you have any changes that you have made and would like them
         incorporated, please email them to me and I will add them to
         code tree.

History: The playback program has existed in varous forms over the years.
         The first version was written using a X11/Athena library call libsx.
         It was then re written in IDL, the Vgui, and finally GTK2.

I hope you find playback useful!!
