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,
Tony Richardson

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.
