libplot-perl libplot-perl is copyrighted by John Lapeyre This program may be distributed only under the terms of the Gnu General Public License or the perl Artistic License. This is a perl module which allows the libplot plotting routines to be called from the perl scripting language. libplot currently takes relatively primitive graphics commands. Several output formats, including xfig, postscript and an X11 driver are available. In order to build this package, you need the libplot library to be built and installed. It is part of the plotutils package, available wherever fine FSF products are sold. http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html You need the plot.h header file as well as the shared library. On some systems, the module will build with perl Makefile.PL make make test make install This has been tested under Debian Gnu/Linux and on a DEC Alpha running Digital Unix. In the source tree is a directory, "examples" with a readme and some sample scripts. The interface may change. libplot is under development. I plan make new functions available in libplot-perl. Currently, there are no libplot functions operating on arrays. When these become available, I will add an interface for the perl PDL module, ie, the functions in libplot-perl will take PDL data types (pdl's) as arguments. Please let me know if you plan to make anything more or less permanent depend on a libplot-perl. The version number of libplot-perl consists of the libplot version number with a point and a number appended. John Lapeyre (for a while)
