But if your system is Linux (I have forgotten) it is a simple matter to install the static versions of all libraries. They are usually in the development rpm. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Yes, it is certainly worthwhile to be able to link both with the shared and static versions of libplplot. These options are provided by libtool (and therefore plplot_libtool). More details in a post I just sent off to plplot-general to answer Herng-Jeng directly. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Here is what to do: Adjust the line below for your prefix, but if I build plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031004 using --prefix=/usr/local/plplot_at --disable-dyndrivers Note the --disable-dyndrivers is essential because the combination of static libraries (what you are ultimately trying to use) and dyndrivers does not currently work. plplot_libtool --mode=link g++ -all-static x01.cc \ -I/usr/local/plplot_at/include/plplot -L/usr/local/plplot_at/lib \ -lplplotcxxd -o x01 -ldl then I get good results. Herng-Jeng and Andrew, will you please confirm this also works well on your systems? Note the resulting executable is statically linked: file x01 x01: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped Also, the size of the executable is enormous ls -l x01 -rwxr-xr-x 1 software software 4760851 Oct 15 11:36 x01* But ./x01 -dev xwin, for example, works fine. I tried the same thing in the c directory, and again no problems. Also, I tried ordinary builds using make (which invokes plplot_libtool without the -all-static and -ldl options) and they worked fine as well. So plplot_libtool is your friend for sorting out various linking cases. (Rafael is working on a replacement to plplot_libtool which should be able to do the same thing in a simpler way, but until that works, use plplot_libtool.) What is going on here is that by default, both dynamic and static versions of the plplot library are built.

OK. I've reproduced the problem with my setup. Firstly it's not a C++ problem - the same thing occurs with the C drivers. I wondered if it is related to the dynamic drivers however the drivers appear to load ok. It also occurs with postscript and xwin drivers for me so it's not specific to a driver. Running the examples with the -debug option doesn't reveal any differences between the dynamic and static cases. In the case of the postscript driver the statically linked output is not empty - there are a whole series of drawing commands in the output file, however the coordinates are all the same. Maybe one of the developers can throw some light on this. Andrew P.S. Given that you have (I presume) compiled with dynamic drivers is there any particular reason you want to statically link in the plplot library? To use the program on another machine you would also need to distrubute the drivers in plplot/lib/plplot/driversd/.

Hi Jou, I'm afraid there is no GUI option in C++ to save the current plot like there is with the tk examples. You can do it in your own programs though. Look at example x20 which allows you to save a plot by replicating a stream using cpstrm, changing the device and then replotting. This should do what you want. Same goes for C.

Hi Andrew, I have another question in the C++ binding, hope you don't mind. Is it possible to save the output to a file while the plot is currently being viewed? I think it is possible as that has been achieved in the tk driver. But I could not figure out how to do that in C++/PLplot. Can you help?

Thanks Andrew for your quick response.
Since I don't quite understand the build process, so it is very likely that
I screwed up.
This is how x01 was built with the supplied Makefile in examples/c++ directory:
$ make x01
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link g++ -g -O2 -o x01 x01.o
../../bindings/c++/libplplotcxxd.la
$ g++ -g -O2 -o .libs/x01 x01.o ../../bindings/c++/.libs/libplplotcxxd.so
/afs/hjjou/archives/plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031004/src/.libs/libplplotd.so
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so
/afs/hjjou/archives/plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031004/lib/csa/.libs/libcsirocsa.so
-ldl -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/plplot/lib
creating x01
and that makes a executable .libs/x01 and x01 script and it works fine.
After I install PLplot into "/usr/local/plplot" directory,
then I was trying to compile a standalone x01 without dynamic linkage at
all to PLplot, and
this is what I did:
$ g++ -I/usr/local/plplot/include/plplot -c x01.cc
$ g++ -g -O2 -o x01 x01.o /usr/local/plplot/lib/libplplotcxxd.a
/usr/local/plplot/lib/libplplotd.a /usr/lib/libfreetype.so
/usr/local/plplot/lib/libcsirocsa.a -ldl
$ ldd x01
libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40023000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40063000)
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
(0x40066000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x400a9000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
looks like this x01 executable has correct linkage. But when I run it, I
got a empty
page with it. Same problem as x02 if I try compiling this way.
All of these (lib,example source, etc) were done using CVS 20031004 snapshot.
The library was configured with --prefix==/usr/local/plplot --with-double flag.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jou, How exactly are you compiling the examples statically? Do you mean that you are compiling the whole library statically? There have been some API changes in the C++ bindings so you are now required to call plstream::init() explicitly. Is it possible that you are linking against an old version of the library which might explain your problem? Do you get the same problems with all the C++ examples?

Hi, I compiled PLplot CVS 20031004 ok on RedHat Linux 7.3 with gcc/g++ 2.96. The x01.cc example works fine as compiled with dynamic linkage. When I tried to link it statically, the executable runs with an empty plotting window (black background) and with no plot in it.

I think it's better, although it's not nice.
Perhaps changing the message to=20

plstream constructor. This two-line change to the API does not
affect the current examples, but according to Andrew does affect
other programmes using the PLplot C++ API.
2003-10-02 08:47 airwin
* Makefile.am: Bug fix for changed way we now handle libltdl. Only
do libltdl directory for case when dyndrivers are enabled.
2003-10-01 23:05 airwin
* bindings/java/README.javaAPI: Update documentation to reflect
building of installed java examples that now occurs automatically
and the new installed location for the module (DLL) for the java
PLplot interface.
2003-10-01 22:52 airwin
* bindings/java/Makefile.am: Complete reorganization following what
is done for ../../bindings/python/Makefile.am.
Note that install-exec-hook: is now used to compile all the
installed java files rather than compiling them in a local
directory underneath bindings/java before installation, and this
reduces a lot of clutter that was occurring before.
Another notable change is the java module that interfaces to PLplot
is no longer built like a full-blown library with a version number,
precision tag, etc. with installation into $prefix/lib with
appropriate version number symlinks. Instead, it is built
similarly to the python module and installed in the location where
the core java and compiled class files are installed.
2003-10-01 22:41 airwin
* bindings/java/: PLStreamc.java, config.java.in: For
PLStreamc.java, change from
System.loadLibrary( plplot.core.config.libname );
to
System.load( plplot.core.config.libname );
The former requires setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/Unix systems
(ugh, that is old-fashioned!).
The latter requires an absolute path name + exact name of
dynamically loaded module which is setup in configure.ac and
configured using config.java.in.
Yipee! No more setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is required for PLplot
java use!
2003-10-01 22:29 airwin
* configure.ac: * Only do libltdl related actions if dyndrivers is
enabled.
* Define AC_SUBSTituted variables JAVA_INSTDIR and
PLPLOTJAVAC_WRAP_DLL for the absolute path of the Java install
location, and the name of the module for interfacing java to PLplot
that is (now) installed in that location.
2003-10-01 22:22 airwin
* acinclude.m4: Add another macro, GET_DLLNAME, for getting the
name for dynamically loaded libraries (modules). This macro has
largely been copied from GET_DLNAME. On many systems the name for
modules is just simply namestem.so, but we cannot assume that for
all Unix platforms.
2003-10-01 22:12 airwin
* bindings/python/README.pythonbuild: Tweak wording to reflect Mac
OS X success.
2003-10-01 22:10 airwin
* bindings/python/Makefile.am: Drop -no-undefined from LDFLAGS for
the creation of the module that will be dynamically loaded by
python. It makes no sense to resolve every reference at link time
since python will be supplying the references to the python library
names at dynamic load time. (Thanks to Rob Managan for his Mac OS X
error report on this issue.)
2003-10-01 22:03 airwin
* examples/java/README.javademos: Update documentation reflecting
the automatic build of the examples by make install.
2003-10-01 21:59 airwin
* test/test_java.sh: Update commentary.
2003-10-01 21:54 airwin
* examples/java/Makefile.am: Compile java examples after
installation. This is contrary to what we do for our other
compiled language examples, but seems consistent with what is
normally done for distribution of java software.
2003-10-01 21:50 airwin
* examples/c++/Makefile.am: $(LN_S) must be preceded by rm -f.
(Thanks to Rob Managan for his error report concerning this issue.)
2003-10-01 21:38 airwin
* doc/docbook/: docbook.m4, src/Makefile.am: As discussed on the
list deal with SourceForge username consistently both for configure
time using the --with-www-user=NAME option and at make time
overriding the WWW_USER variable using
make WWW_USER=NAME
Previously, overriding the make variable required a trailing @ in
the NAME, but now NAME is treated identically in both cases with no
trailing @ required.
2003-10-01 12:58 rlaboiss
* configure.ac, include/plConfig.h.in: Better wording in comment
for PL_DOUBLE
The comment preceeding #define PL_DOUBLE is now clearer. Thanks to
Arjen Markus <arj...@wl...> for the suggestion.

----- Forwarded message from "Alan W. Irwin" <ir...@be...> ----- From: "Alan W. Irwin" <ir...@be...> Subject: Announcing today's experimental test PLplot tarball Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 11:37:15 -0700 (PDT) To: Rafael Laboissiere <lab...@ps...> Here is a new version of the experimental PLplot tarball for testing purposes on Mac OS X and Cygwin (or any other platform where you want to be on the PLplot cutting edge). See the Debian stable, Mac OS X and Cygwin status reports below. All are looking pretty good! Use at your own risk! There are still some security concerns with the Debian unstable libtool-1.5 application we used to build this tarball, but James Remnant is adamant (see his public remarks in response to my concerns at http://www.mail-archive.com/deb...@li.../msg10149.html) that he has tracked every change in cvs for a long time since well before the cracker rooted the GNU ftp server, and therefore no malicious code can possibly be in the Debian unstable libtool-1.5 package. So please review his remarks, and make your own judgement call on this issue. what: plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031002.tar.gz and plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031002.tar.gz.asc (detached PGP signature. Use gpg --verify to verify that there are no transmission errors and that Rafael is the source of these files). where: the usual test tarball site; http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html. Thanks, Rafael, for producing this. I have tested this tarball on my Debian stable system both for ./configure defaults (which implies enabling of shared libraries and dynamic drivers) and for the combination of --disable-shared and --disable-dyndrivers. There were no obvious build problems and all test examples built and gave good results. I have just incorporated a series of improvements in PLplot which got into this new experimental tarball. This effort incorporated much appreciated feedback from Rob Managan with results on his Mac OS X system and Ullal Devappa Kini with results on his Cygwin system. _______________________________________________ Here is a summary of the current PLplot status on Mac OS X. (For Cygwin results see below.) * Rob must always use --disable-dyndrivers because get-drv-info does not work on his system. Rafael now has some diagnostic output to play with. This is the only PLplot Mac OS X issue left where we feel there is something we might be able to do about the situation. * Rob must use -dev xwin -drvopt defvis to work around X server problems on Mac OS X. * For the default shared libraries, C, C++, and python worked without problems. Rob did not try java, tcl/tk, or octave. * Rob had to --disable-f77 for the default shared libraries because of a limitation of the Mac OS X loader; apparently it cannot handle fortran common blocks (which our fortran interface code uses) for shared libraries. The combination of --enable-f77 --disable-shared does work for Rob. However, disable-shared does have the side effect of large executables, and it also disallows use of our python, java, and octave interfaces (all of which depend on shared libraries). _______________________________________________ Here is a summary of the current PLplot status on Cygwin. (For Mac OS X results see above.) * When Ullal ran ./configure with lots of options from inside a script there appeared to be some problems with the Cygwin shell (whether ash or bash). He is still investigating this problem, but for now using ./configure from the command line seems to work. * Ullah so far has investigated only the case of --disable-shared --disable-dyndrivers. This necessarily eliminates the python, java, and octave interfaces to PLplot which depend on shared libraries. Thus, if you are interested in any of these languages on Cygwin it would be well worthwhile to at least attempt the default --enable-shared. (Probably in such an attempt you should continue with --disable-dyndrivers.) * It appears that Cygwin Tcl has been limited to the cross-platform subset Tcl code with the Unix Tcl extensions not available for this Unix platform. (!) Since PLplot requires the Tcl Unix extensions, you must --disable-tcl on Cygwin. * Ullal finds the c, c++, and fortran interfaces to PLplot (for the static libraries no dynamic drivers case) all work fine. He has interactively generated pbm, png, jpeg, xfig, plmeta, ps, and psc files and displayed them with the appropriate applications (including plrender to display the metafile format of the plmeta result). The xterm device apparently does not work for Ullal, although he hasn't clarified whether he actually ran that from an xterm GUI (which is, of course, a requirement). _______________________________________________ In sum, Debian stable, Mac OS X and Cygwin are all looking pretty good for the current, experimental PLplot tarball, and my thanks to Rob and Ullah for all the hard, repetitive testing work they put in to help achieve this good result. I encourage you to try out the current experimental PLplot tarball on other platforms as well (or on Mac OS X or Cygwin platforms for even more extensive testing or just plain use) _if_ you are willing to make your own judgement on the security risk mentioned above.

OK, here is the long awaited _experimental_ PLplot test tarball for cygwin and macosx systems. what: plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20030921.tar.gz and plplot.md5sum (a gpg-signed file containing the md5sum for the tarball). where: the usual test tarball site; http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html. Thanks, Rafael, for producing this. This tarball is based on today's PLplot snapshot which contains some changes (in particular a C++ API change and also a large extension of that API plus a whole set of the standard examples written in C++ that use all the updates to that API) since the 5.2.1 release. The tarball has been built with the latest autotools available on Debian unstable. These include a libtool cvs snapshot taken slightly after the release of libtool-1.5. Our previous release 5.2.1 tarball, plplot-5.2.1.tar.gz, was built with libtool-1.4.3 which had well-known problems for macosx and cygwin platforms. PLplot users on those platforms confirm there are many problems with PLplot-5.2.1, but we are hoping that a PLplot tarball generated with libtool-1.5 will fix those problems. Thus, we suggest it might be worthwhile (but see CAVEATS below) to test out this experimental tarball on cygwin and macosx systems to see what PLplot problems (if any) there are on those systems now with a PLplot tarball built with libtool-1.5. Also, you might want to try out this experimental tarball if you would like to take advantage of the greatly improved (but changed!, see the examples in examples/c++ ) C++ API for PLplot (put together by Andrew Ross). CAVEATS: This is an _experimental_ tarball so use with some caution. I have done my usual tests on the two platforms available to me (Debian stable and RedHat 7.3), but that is just a start and we need lots more testing for a variety of configurations and platforms before we can even think of calling this version of the PLplot code non-experimental. Also, there are some security concerns because this tarball is built with libtool-1.5, and there is long-drawn out uncertainty whether malicious code has been inserted into it by the GNU cracker that owned the GNU ftp server for many months before that crack was discovered last month. Because of this problem, GNU have rightly withdrawn all their ~500 newer source tarballs and are in the process of testing each one for malignant code before re-releasing the tarball (currently at the rate of about 1 per day). So far for the many older tarballs (which were easy to test because GNU had access to untainted sources) there were absolutely no problems and they were able to restore them with confidence. However, libtool-1.5 is one of the newer tarballs which have not yet been restored. Nevertheless, the Debian libtool packager, James Remnant is adamant (see his public remarks at response to my concerns at http://www.mail-archive.com/deb...@li.../msg10149.html) that he has tracked every change in cvs for a long time since well before the cracker rooted the GNU ftp server, and therefore no malicious code can possibly be in the Debian unstable libtool-1.5 package. My own judgement call is I trust what he says because he stated it so strongly and publically on the Debian security list so that is good enough for me, and I am obviously willing to try this tarball on the machines accessible to me as a result. But you will have to make your own judgement call based on your reading of that thread (or wait many months to get access to a libtool-1.5 tarball that GNU will officially vouch for and an official release of PLplot from us based on that). I am sorry for this security cloud that continues to hang over one of the more important free software development tools, but all I can do about it is to keep you honestly informed, and agitate with the libtool developers to verify their version 1.5 tarball so that GNU will officially release it again. However, so far the libtool developers see no urgency in doing this boring task. Thus, Rafael and I decided to use the Debian unstable libtool-1.5 workaround which is vouched for by James Remnant to generate this experimental PLplot tarball, but it is definitely a "use at your own risk" situation. If you do try this experimental PLplot tarball, please send your reports both positive and negative to plplot_devel. We especially need to know the details of your platform, and if the report is negative the complete output of the ./configure; make; and make install commands. BTW, for my tests of this tarball I took defaults for the ./configure options except for --prefix. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Thanks a lot for your help and great work. I'll wait couple days then for the new cvs to be posted. BTW, it is my understanding that Plplot constructs contour plot only from gridded data, not from ungridded data. Am I correct? If so, what code would you recommend to generate gridded data from ungridded data?

I've committed a couple of small fixes to the win-tk build. The problem is that plplot's build/config (and even data directories and #defines) have changed a number of times in the last few years and I haven't always kept win-tk/makefile.vc up to date. (The new version should appear in public cvs in 24 hours).

Hi,
I downloaded plplot 5.2.1, compiled win32 with no problem with VC++ 6.0.
Then I was trying to compiled the win-tk dll. Following the instruction of
Readme.txt, the first error I found was not finding "ltdl.h" file when
compiling
plcore.c. After adding -I..\..\libltdl into compile flag, it was found.
Then following errors
occur when compiling plcore.c:
