Introduction

Geocap has a plotting system utilizing the PostScript language. The plotting system enables you to create scaled maps containing axes, scale bars, contour maps, lines, points, legends and anything else you might need.
On your disk open Course B1/plot/Base Triassic1.pdf to see an example of a plot generated in Geocap.

It is also possible to export your graphics window, both as a 2D sceenshot and a 3D PDF.
