        Purpose:

        Quick Graph is a small and fast program for drawing graphs on an
        EGA or VGA system.  You can switch between a line graph, a bar
        graph, a stacked bar graph, a curve, and a pie chart, with the
        press of a key.  You can graph up to 6 sets of data at once.
        A special feature of this program is to analyze and graph your
        disk space usage.



        Usage: 
           
                       qg (on its own for help)
                    or qg datafilename  
                    or qg directoryname (for disk usage analysis)
        
        For example, qg example1.pts (to graph points in the text
                                      file called example1.pts)
                  or qg c:\  (to graph disk usage on Drive C: from
                              the root directory and below)


        Data file format:

        Points must be numbers listed in up to 6 columns.
        Each column is a "set" of data.  You can have a
        maximum of 6200 points in each set. 


        Operation:

        To plot the points in a data file, run the program with the
        filename as a parameter (see "Usage").  To plot disk usage, run
        the program with the directory name as a parameter.  For
        example, to analyze the entire disk then specify the root
        directory.  Quick Graph will analyze all directories within the
        specified directory. 

              The cursor: Use the arrow keys to move the cross-shaped
                          cursor.  A read-out of the x and y position of
                          the cursor can be seen at the bottom of the
                          screen.

              Numbers on the x axis: Press "N" to see numbers listed on
                          the x axis corresponding to the number of the
                          point. 

              View Points: Press "P" to mark the points on the screen to
                          make them more visible.

              Bar Graph:  Press "B" to see a bar graph.

              Stacked Bar Graph: Press "S" for a stacked bar graph.

              Line Graph: Press "L" for a line graph.

              Pie Graph: Press "I" for a pie graph.  

              Curve:     Press "C" to draw a curve through the points. 
                         Pressing the "+" and "-" keys in this mode will
                         increase or decrease the degree of smoothing.
                         The more smoothing, the more weight is given to
                         points further away.
