1.1.2. - User functions
The package's user functions are separate processes that communicate directly with the plot program, allowing you to create your own data collection and processing routines and integrate them into C-PLOT. The package includes overhead modules and prototype C-modules containing most of the code that comprises these programs. C-PLOT will create files containing the prototype subroutines and invoke your favorite editor. After you add your code, it will compile and run the function. Your role may be as simple as entering the C-language expression that gives y as a function of x, or it may involve writing many lines of code, depending on your need.
