- README file for MS Windows version of gnuplot.
- 28th January 1993
-
- Windows 3.0 and 3.1 (WIN16)
- ----------------------------
-
- Windows gnuplot requires 4 files to run:
- WGNUPLOT.EXE Main program
- WGNUPLOT.DLL Graphics and Text window library
- WGNUPLOT.HLP Windows Help file
- WGNUPLOT.MNU Menu file
- These 4 files must be in the same directory.
-
- More information is available from gnuplot 'help set terminal windows'.
-
- WGNUPLOT runs in standard and enhanced modes.
-
- Windows 3.1 is preferred, but it will run under Windows 3.0
- with the following restrictions:
- 1. COMMDLG.DLL and SHELL.DLL (available with Windows 3.1 or Borland C++ 3.1)
- must be in the windows directory.
- 2. WGNUPLOT.HLP produced by Borland C++ 3.1 is in Windows 3.1 format.
- You need to use the WINHELP.EXE supplied with Borland C++ 3.1.
- 3. WGNUPLOT won't run in real mode due to lack of memory.
- 4. Truetype fonts are not available in the graph window.
- 5. Drag-drop does not work.
-
- The Borland makefile is makefile.win.
- Windows gnuplot has only been tested with Borland C++ 3.1.
- Before making wgnuplot you will need to edit the TC = line
- to specify the location of your compiler.
-
- The Microsoft C 7.0 makefile is makefile.msw.
- This version has had very little testing and currently crashes
- if you set samples >= 2048.
-
- Windows 95 and Windows NT (WIN32) (or 3.1 with win32s ?)
- ---------------------------------
-
- When compiling with Microsoft Visual C/C++ for NT you should use
- makefile.nt from the top directory and build the project from a
- command line prompt with nmake
-
- nmake -f makefile.nt
-
- If you want to use the interactive debugger you will need to
- compile gnuplot from the IDE. For this purpose you can use the
- gnuplot.mak file in this directory, but first copy it into the
- top directory. Remember that this project file for the IDE will
- *not* build the complete package, just the executable for
- debugging purposes.
