PPPL Unix Cluster
Pgplot is a Graphics Subroutine Library. We are running version 5.2 which is installed on Solaris and OSF/1 machines in the Unix Cluster. The main WEB site for pgplot is http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/. The users' manual is http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/contents.html
To use pgplot, set
PGPLOT_DIR=/usr/local/pgplot export PGPLOT_DIR PGPLOT_DEV=/xwin export PGPLOT_DEV
or
setenv PGPLOT_DIR /usr/local/pgplot setenv PGPLOT_DEV /xwin
depending on whether your shell understands sh or csh syntax. Setting PGPLOT_DEV is optional---it just provides the default device type.
C programs will need the header file
#include <cpgplot.h>
and will need to be compiled with
-I$PGPLOT_DIR
To link Fortran and C programs, use
-L$PGPLOT_DIR -lpgplot -lX11 -L$PGPLOT_DIR -lcpgplot -lX11
respectively.
A summary of routines is available in https://w3.pppl.gov/misc/pgplot/pgplot.html (also available as a text version and as a hardcopy version).
