Source Code

C source code in tar gzip form. Includes a couple of example plot scripts. Requires an ansi compliant C compiler such as gcc. If you want PNG, you need to have libpng and zlib. Please be sure you have read, and agree with, the copyright and permissions notice that goes with the software. Instructions: 1) Download the file; 2) Type gunzip plsrc141.tar.gz; 3) Type tar xf plsrc141.tar; 4) Check the release notes for any late bug fixes and download the fixes if desired. 5) See the Makefile and README file for a few further instructions.

You can also download the complete node (similar to this web site).. see below under Documentation & Examples.

  • Ploticus 1.41 plsrc141.tar.gz (260 kB)


    Platform-Specific Info & Pre-compiled Binaries

    My 'home' system is Solaris. All other binaries are provided by the person who did the port (thanks!). If you succeed in porting ploticus to a yet-unsupported platform, and are willing to make the binaries available (either on your own web site or by email on request) please contact me and I will link to you from here. Please be sure you have read, and agree with, the copyright and permissions notice that goes with the software. Instructions (for example solaris 2.x): 1) Download the file; 2) Type: gunzip plbin141.sol2.tar.gz; 3) Type: tar xf plbin141.sol2.tar; 4) Move the executable files (pl, pltab, etc.) to a bin in your search path Unless noted these use the standard dynamically linked libraries. The test suite and documentation may be downloaded separately.

    Windows/NT with DJGPP. I received a report that ploticus compiles without problems using DJGPP. The tmp directory must be set to c:/tmp - this may be done using the ploticus config tmpdir attribute (v 1.38 or higher), or by modifying preliminaries.c. Your command path must be such that basic commands such as cat(1) are available.

    Digital Unix 4.0. I received a report that ploticus compiles on this platform. Here are some notes.



    Test Suite

    In tar, gzip form. Includes about 20 examples with a short shell script that runs them all, in several different modes. Includes a few newer examples that may not work correctly for older software versions.
  • pltestsuite.tar.gz (60 kB)


    Accessories

  • ploticus.perl A perl script which imlements a web interface to ploticus, by Tom McClure. Questions regarding this should be addressed to Tom.


    Documentation & Examples

    All of the following are available in tar, gzip form.

  • Complete node. This includes the complete documentation in html and roff man formats, gallery of examples, all thumbnails. Source code should be acquired separately. It is basically equivalent to the web site. You can serve it up with a web server, or access it on your hard disk using a URL beginning with file:/// instead of http://.
