PP3

PP3 creates celestial charts. It generates resolution-independent maps of very high graphical quality. They can be used, for example, as illustrations in books or on Web pages.

It is possible to change many parameters, and arbitrary text can be placed on the maps. The output formats are EPS or PDF.

The program itself consists only of one executable file and a data files directory. The program takes a small text file as input and produces a LaTeX, Postscript, or PDF file.
