Archived source code of the GENPLOT scientific plotting package and the RUMP Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry analysis tool, retrieved from genplot.org before the site went offline. Preserved here for historical and scientific reference.
This repository contains the C source code and offline HTML documentation copied from the genplot.org website (now defunct). The code was hosted in a section of the site that was not crawled by the Internet Archive and is no longer publicly accessible. It is placed here as-is, with no modifications, for the benefit of researchers who may still need it.
GENPLOT is a command-line scientific data analysis and plotting package aimed at researchers who are comfortable with typed commands. It supports curve fitting, data manipulation, and high-quality output to a variety of devices. It was designed to run on Unix/POSIX systems and has platform-specific makefiles for:
| Platform | Makefile |
|---|---|
| Linux | makelnx |
| macOS | makeosx |
| GNU/GCC | makegnu |
| AIX | makeaix |
| HP-UX 7 | makehp7 |
| Solaris | makesolaris |
| SGI IRIX | makesgi |
| OSF/Tru64 | makeosf |
| Convex | makecvx |

RUMP is a Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) analysis, plotting, and simulation package built on top of GENPLOT. It includes three tightly integrated components:
- RUMP — spectrum reading, plotting, and basic RBS analysis
- SIM — layer-by-layer sample definition and forward simulation
- PERT — semi-automatic least-squares refinement of a simulation against measured data
RUMP was originally written in FORTRAN at Cornell University in Dr. J.W. Mayer's research group by L.R. Doolittle, M.O. Thompson, and R.C. Cochran, then fully rewritten in C. Source lives in rump/.
