DPlot

Gents

How is the best way to mention DPLOT in a academic paper? I am using DPLOT to estimate area and volume variation. Do exist a paper that supports DPLOT area and volume algoritm?

thaks in advance

I appreciate the plug.

If you just want to reference the software, then whatever journal you're publishing in probably has guidelines for this, and I'd suggest starting with them. If they're more flexible, I'd suggest something like:

DPlot Graph Software, HydeSoft Computing, 2001-2010, Vicksburg, Mississippi

(with, if the journal allows it, a reference to www.dplot.com)

If instead you need to link to a printable document, then take your pick: the PDF manual (http://www.dplot.com/dplotusermanual.pdf), online help (http://www.dplot.com/help/index.htm) and Help file all contain the same information. All include descriptions of surface area calculation (http://www.dplot.com/help/index.htm?hel ... rtcuts.htm) and volume under a surface (http://www.dplot.com/help/index.htm?fin ... urface.htm). Neither are especially wordy, though. If you need more specifics let me know and I'll include that in an update.
