i got sick of the charting toolchains and wrote a .ps which, when concatenated with a two-column file of datapoints, treated the first row as axis labels, auto scaled the x and y axis and printed a chart.

- kjs3 4y agoYeah...smart folks figure all sorts of awesome uses for PS like you did. In college we had big issues with students writing PS programs and crushing the shared printer CPUs making them unavailable to anyone else till their program finished (or we powercycled the printer). It takes a long time to compute an A4 sized, 600dpi Mandelbrot set on a 4MHz 68000.
