Re: [Plplot-general] setting PLPLOT_LIB by a function at the start of the program

[Arjen M. <Arj...@de...>]

Hi Frédéric,



Sure that would be a possibility, but you could write it yourself ;). You don't mention the programming language you're using, but it should not be too difficult - all that is required is that you call the putenv() C function to set the environment variable from within your program to a value indicating that directory. Possibly some more work is needed, as that directory is likely to be relative to the location of your program.



Regards,



Arjen
