Cernlib is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other fields such as the biological sciences.

the packlib library includes a great deal of cernlib core functionality. best-known are probably the minuit function minimization routines, the hbook histogramming routines, and kuip (kit for a user interface package). other subsystems include cspack, a set of client-server routines; ffread, a format-free input processing system for fortran; and zebra, a data structure management package.

this package includes the graphical functionality of kuip, the cernlib kit for a user interface package. this library has been split off from packlib so that the packlib packages need not depend upon the x and lesstif libraries.

this package was formerly named libkuipx11-1. the text-based functionality of kuip can be found in the libpacklib1-gfortran package.

note that in order to compile and link programs against this library, you must also install the libpacklib-lesstif1-dev package.
