- Version 2.6 of PLPLOT
- PLPLOT is a library of C functions that are useful for scientific plotting.
- The PLPLOT library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog plots,
- log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots, mesh plots, bar charts and pie
- charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed
- on a single page with multiple lines in each graph. Different line
- styles, widths and colors are supported. A virtually infinite number
- of distinct area fill patterns may be used. There are almost 2000 characters
- in the extended character set. This includes four different fonts,
- the Greek alphabet and a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols.
- The fonts can be scaled to any size for various effects.
-
- To create a library compatible with your compiler/system you need to go to
- the appropriate directory (lattice, unix) and follow the directions
- in the README file there.
-
- Read the file README.CHANGES for a description of the changes/improvements
- made in this version. (This version is not compatible with version 1.0
- in programs that do 3D or contour plots.) The Amiga interface
- has been greatly improved and there have been a number of improvements
- in the portable code (all the stuff in the src directory) as well
- (mesh plots, area fill routines, and a better method of handling the
- fonts). Also read README.AMIGA if you are installing PLPLOT on an Amiga.
-
- Many thanks to Tom Rokicki (who provided the Preferences and IFF driver
- routines), Sam Paolucci (he wrote the Postscript driver) and to
- Bob Wolff and Steve Walton (they provided several hints as to how to
- avoid Lattice/Manx incompatibilities. Note: This code may not work with
- Manx yet. Steve got it to work, but I'm not sure if all the changes he
- made are included in this version (I haven't been able to contact him,
- I think his Internet feed is down)). There were several people who
- helped test this library and who made many suggestions. They are too
- numerous to list but their help was greatly appreciated.

- Enjoy,

- p.s. I'm trying to make a plplot function library for use with AREXX.
- I'm using Lattice 5.04 with its new features for creating shared
- libraries. I can't seem to get anything to work, though. If anyone has
- done this I would appreciate it if you would contact me so that I can
- find out what I'm doing wrong.
