[Plplot-general] Announcing Gtkmm-PLplot 1.0

[Tom S. <tom...@me...>]

Hi all,


It is my great pleasure to announce the first release of Gtkmm-PLplot, a library providing scientific plotting support for Gtkmm, built entirely around PLplot.

I started this project as I found that there were no plotting libraries around that were supporting Gtkmm-3 and I was badly in need for one.

I discovered that it’s really easy to combine Gtkmm and PLplot using a Gtk::DrawingArea and the extcairo plot device and decided to create an entire library around it.

Currently I am supporting two dimensional plots (including polar), contour plots with/without shades and three-dimensional plots of line data. Where appropriate, I have also added support for zooming by dragging selection boxes.

More features will follow in future releases.

I invite everybody to check out the library and have a look at the documentation (including screenshots) I am hosting at http://github.com/tschoonj/gtkmm-plplot <http://github.com/tschoonj/gtkmm-plplot> and http://tschoonj.github.io/gtkmm-plplot <http://tschoonj.github.io/gtkmm-plplot>.

Best regards,

Tom Schoonjans
