[Plplot-general] Plotting from multithreaded environment

[Sergei N. <vo...@ra...>]

Hi!

I am writing a program that periodically pulls data over a serial line. It has to
process and plot them. The plotting is done into a GDK_PIXMAP. In order to pull
data periodically I start a separate gdk thread with g_timeout_add_seconds().
What I find however is that all plplot commands that are given from inside this
separate thread seem to be getting ignored. Is there any explanation and/or
example on plotting in multithreaded environments? It doesn't seem right to
reinitialize everything every time a thread in executed.

Thanks a lot in advance,
