have been able to compile the headers for some of the examples in C
but, the actual functions are missing. Is there any way I could get
the source code for the header plplot.h which might be named plplot.c?
It does not seem to be in the unzipped files which come with
plplot-5.9.9. I also would need the correct version -- Works with
Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 7.

Hi Kourous:

Thanks for your interest in PLplot.

To answer your specific question, the source code corresponding to
include/plplot.h resides in src/*.c.  But to do an actual build of
PLplot will require you to follow the CMake-based build rules on our
wiki at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/.  If you have any trouble
with those instructions, don't hesitate to ask further questions here.
