This is another small collection of some of my attempts at bashing out
ARexx scripts for the excellent Drawstudio. They're slightly more advanced
than some of my earlier attempts, but the interface to them is still a
little (OK, a lot) naff. They may prove useful for people who would like
to learn a bit more about writing such scripts, but be warned that they
are pretty clumsily-written.

IMPORTANT! Some of these scripts require rexxmathlib.library (available
from Aminet sites at util/rexx/RexxMathLib.lha or on Aminet CD 16).

* 3DPie       - This is one of the prettiest scripts you'll find in this
                particular volume. As the name suggests, it will produce
                a simple 3D pie chart based upon a set of values it
                reads in from a file. As for the 2D version, you are
                able to pick up individual slices and move them about.
                This is particularly effective with translucent fills.

* NewBarGraph - A significantly improved version of the original
                histogram script. It too will read values in from a
                file, but this time it will also label the axis and draw
                the values on the scale. It also supports standard error
                bars, and to make things slightly easier to adjust, it
                will group common elements together to make colouring
                them much easier.

* LineGraph   - This is derived from the bar graph script and so has
                much of the same features. Additionally, it will allow
                you to view individual points.

* Table       - Probably the most useful script of them all. It's far
                from perfect, but given a file containing the data (with
                appropriate formatting information), it is possible to
                produce nice tables with less hassle than normal. It
                allows left, centre, and right justification.
                Additionally, it supports vertical alignment, but this
                isn't really anything special when it comes to dealing
                with tall characters.

* NewGrid     - Some small refinements for my original grid script. This
                time, you can choose to group rows or columns together.
                Nothing special.

Oh, and if you don't already have DrawStudio and just happen to be
browsing at this ReadMe file for no apparent reason, the go out and buy
it now! Seriously, we don't often get new commercial talent in these
hard times, so please give the demo a try or something and support new
Amiga development.
