[Plplot-general] Available output devices on Windows

[Andrew M. <ve...@gm...>]

Hello plplot community,

I'm a plplot newbie. I have a question regarding the available output
devices available in Windows. I've built plplot 5.11.1 for a multi-platform
application (Windows 7/CentOS 7). My requirements are fairly simple - to
display some test data in a separate viewing window. The guts of the
plotter calls are:

pls = new plstream();
#ifdef BUILD_LINUX
plsdev("xwin");
#else
#ifndef _MSC_VER
plsdev("wingcc");
#else
//Hmm, now what should this be
#endif
#endif

plspause(false);
pls->init();
pls->env(0,1000, 0, ymax, 0, 0);
pls->lab( "Something", "Frequency", "Something Histogram");
pls->bin(n, datax, datay, opt);


As you can see, I'm hedging my bets with the output device, depending on
the host OS and environment. I'm trying to support both Cygwin and VS
builds on Windows and standard gcc on Linux. However,  I can't seem to find
a plplot device that will display a pop-up histogram window with Visual
Studio/Windows. Is this possible? Is there some wingcc equivalent in VS?

Thanks for listening.

Andrew
