Re: [Plplot-general] install problems

[M. F. <mfr...@se...>]

BTW I didn't download it from sourceforge I downloaded
it from rpmfind.net. Perhaps that was where my troubles
REALLY began.

Assuming I do as you suggest, and it works (I have no doubt it will)
here is simpler problem.
I want to write a C++ program that streams a png and/or
jpeg image to a webpage. How do I specify png or jpeg
format and write to stdio using the plplot C++ interface?
I can't seam to find the documentation.

Thanks.
