+DISLIN is a high-level library of subroutines and functions that display
+data graphically. It is intended to be a powerful and easy to use software
+package for programmers and scientists that does not require knowledge of
+hardware features. The software is available for the programming languages
+C, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, Perl, Python and Java.
+
+DISLIN can display graphic information directly on graphic terminals or
+store them in metafiles. The supported display types are VGA, X Windows,
+Windows API and Tektronix. The supported file formats are GKSLIN, CGM,
+HPGL, PostScript, Prescribe, WMF, PNG, BMP and TIFF. DISLIN metafiles can
+either be printed on various devices using the DISLIN driver program DIS-
+DRV or imported into third party products such as TeX and MS Word.
