PGPLOT 5.2.2

Summary

Description: Scientific graph generation library
Source: http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. Supporting this package is a medium priority.

Description

The PGPLOT Graphics Subroutine Library is a Fortran- or C-callable, device-independent graphics package for making simple scientific graphs. It is intended for making graphical images of publication quality with minimum effort on the part of the user. For most applications, the program can be device-independent, and the output can be directed to the appropriate device at run time.

PGPLOT subroutines can be called directly from a Fortran-77 or Fortran-90 program. A C binding library (cpgplot) and header file (cpgplot.h) are provided that allow PGPLOT to be called from a C or C++ program; the binding library handles conversion between C and Fortran argument-passing conventions.

Usage

One of the easiest ways to use the PGPLOT library is through the Perl binding, which is also installed. For more information, run:

    /usr/pubsw/bin/perldoc PGPLOT

to get the documentation for the PGPLOT Perl module.

Accuracy

This information reflects the version of this package that is installed in Stanford's site-wide pubsw software tree. Newer versions of the package may be available from the package source. The contents of this page, including the source URL if applicable, are generally only reviewed when the package is upgraded and therefore may not accurately reflect the current version of the package.
