Abstract :
An educational software package has been developed which makes use of the personal computer for generating graphical displays of the various modes in hollow waveguides. WGVMAP is an interactive software for computing and plotting the electric and the magnetic field lines of various modes in rectangular and circular waveguides, including sectoral and circular with a conducting baffle. The user can choose the number of grid points and the step size and decide whether to change the minimum field magnitude below which the field lines are not plotted
