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.

The PGPLOT library consists of two major parts: a
device-independent part and a set of device-dependent ``device
handler'' subroutines for output on various terminals, image
displays, dot-matrix printers, laser printers, and pen plotters.
Common file formats supported include PostScript and GIF.

PGPLOT itself is written mostly in standard Fortran-77, with a few
non-standard, system-dependent subroutines. 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.

PGPLOT has been tested with UNIX (most varieties, including Linux,
SunOS, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, and Irix) and OpenVMS operating
systems. I am unable to provide support for DOS, Windows,
Windows/NT, or MacOS, but I do distribute code provided by users
for use with these operating systems.

Compiling PGPLOT Linux / Andreas Suter 22.02.01

In the main directory of PGPLOT you'll find a description how to
install it. For UNIX the correct file is

  install-unix.txt

Just follow the instructions there. To generate the file
'makefile' I used the following command

  makemake /afs/psi.ch/project/lem/pgplot linux g77_gcc

The path will depend on your setup.

In the file

  drivers.list

I chose the following drivers

  PSDRIV 1 /PS        PostScript printers, monochrome, landscape    Std F77
  PSDRIV 2 /VPS       Postscript printers, monochrome, portrait     Std F77
  PSDRIV 3 /CPS       PostScript printers, color, landscape     Std F77
  PSDRIV 4 /VCPS      PostScript printers, color, portrait      Std F77

  TTDRIV 5 /XTERM     XTERM Tektronix terminal emulator         Std F77
  TTDRIV 9 /TK4100    Tektronix 4100-series terminals           Std F77

  XWDRIV 1 /XWINDOW   Workstations running X Window System      C
  XWDRIV 2 /XSERVE    Persistent window on X Window System      C

which were also recommended in the description 'install-unix.txt'.

I had to edit the generated 'makefile' since the path for the
X11-lib was not correct, namely from

  LIBS=-L/usr/X11/lib -lX11 `$(SRC)/cpg/libgcc_path.sh` -lgcc -lm -lc -lbsd

to

  LIBS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 `$(SRC)/cpg/libgcc_path.sh` -lgcc -lm -lc -lbsd
