I have recieved several responses to my query about using the PLPlot
library to make a general purpose 2D and 3D Plotting program. It looks
like there is only one front-end available at this time. Namely
Glenn Lewis' Arexx front end.
Unfortunatly I haven't gotten around to getting Arexx yet. (Waiting for
1.4 I guess). So this isn't very usefull to me right now.
What other programs are people using for plotting on the Amiga? If you
have experience using one could you pleas comments on it? I will post
results to the net.

That was what it was originally designed to be used with (I at least believe this to be true). In fact I do not as yet have the PlPlot system with the AREXX interface. Could someone tell me which archive it lives at? BTW, one of the greatest things about PlPlot on the Amiga side (I also use it on a BSD4.2 UNIX(TM) mainframe) is its interface with the PLT device handler for printing your plots.

Namely >Glenn Lewis' Arexx front end. > I have been reluctant to post about PlPlot, but I will admit to a second front end for PlPlot. It is not completely polished and presently does 2D plots. You can change the line style, symbol style, axis labels and type as well as plot multiple data sets on a plot. The front end relies upon the ARP libraries for a file requestor. Data must be in an ASCII two column format in order to be read by the front end. This package is not polished, but worked well enough for the author to finish his disertation. Note, I am not the author. Anyhow, I would be willing to post this if I get some time to recompile it with the newer version of the PlPlot library. > > Gary > -- Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu

Could > someone tell me which archive it lives at? > -- A while back someone mentioned that they were converting PlPlot to work with Aztec C; a very brief summary of the things needing changing was posted. Did the final program (or diffs) ever get posted? I tried modifying the source using the summary of changes; I got it more or less working, but there were frequent gurus and I haven't had the time to hunt down the bugs. The documentation mentions that PlPlot is rewritten in C from Fortran originals (for the PC?). I use a 386-PC at the office, so I would appreciate if somebody would direct me to the Fortran source as well. E-mail is fine; I can summarize to the net if there is enough interest. > -- > Randy M.
