- Summary -- can one do traditional scientific plotting (fortran style) into a PM
- window, and still have WRITE (or printf, depending) statements output
- to the screen somewhere?
-
- I'm trying to assemble a scientific programming environment under OS2. F2c and
- gnu gcc are the main ingredients. What's missing is graphics.
-
- I had planned to port a graphics package -- initially an old Tektronics-style
- system; if that works I'd consider the pre-GKS NCAR package.
-
- I would like my OS2 box from which I run the program to remain visible and
- display the output from fortran write statments (or printf). I would like the
- graphics to appear in a PM window. My experiments so far (based on SAMPLE3
- from Mark Johnson's GCC port) have not succeeded. (I can plot, but printf
- doesn't seem to work in a PM program).
-
- One way to get this would seem to be to start a separate thread for
- the graphics window; then do all plotting via messages to it from the "main"
- task. Isn't there a simpler way?
-
-
- Thanks to any who respond -- please mail
- to me, since I don't read this group as
- often as I should.
