The GPLOT library is a plotting library that can be used to plot variables from inside any fortran program. This subroutine is not intended to replace other graphics packages, but to allow the user to look at arrays of data in the middle of fortran codes. It might be useful for debugging.
The program XYPLOT is also not intended to replace other programs, but to work as a user-friendly interactive program, in which plots of data files can be created from the command line. It is interactive in the sense that the user can input some parameters and the program can interpret the parameters given and create a plot of the desired data file.
How do I compile the library?How about documentation?
Where do I download the source code?
How do I compile the Library?
The first thing you need to do, is of course download the source code (below) and have a F90 compiler (the free compiler G95 NOW does work) available.
Download, unzip and untar the file into a given directory, which we will call ~/gplot/
The latest version does not require you to change anything in the Makefile, unless you are not using GFORTRAN as your compiler. You can change the location of the output libraries and binaries by editing the make.inc file.
Compile simply tipying make.
The program XYPLOT can be found in ~/gplot/bin/ and should have been compiled already.
How about documentation?
Documentation is available here. gplot.pdf
