- README.PLPLOT:
-
- Beginning with version 0.96, RLaB has built-in plotting
- support. This support can only be utilized if you have the
- PLPLOT library installed on your system. PLPLOT is good stuff,
- not only for RLaB. So, if you don't have it already it is
- definitely worthwhile. You can get it at dino.ph.utexas.edu
- in plplot. In order to use the plplot libraries with RLaB
- you must make and install the double precision versions. RLaB
- will look for either libplplotdX.a or libplplotdtk.a.
-
- You can get help on plotting by typing `help plot' at the RLaB
- prompt (if you compiled RLaB to use plplot). Looking at the
- file examples/plot_test.r shows some example plotting
- commands. Also the RLaB Primer has a brief section on
- plotting.
-
- The new plotting implementation has not been through very
- rigorous testing yet. Most of the plot functions are written
- in R-files, so if something is bothering you it should be
- relatively easy to fix. I would like to hear suggestions.
-
- If you do not wish to use, or install the plplot libraries,
- then RLaB will use the gnuplot plot interface.
-
- Enjoy,
