Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

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

Hi David,



That is easier - did you install the stuff via "nmake install" or are you working from the build directory?



That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment variable:



set PATH=d:\plplot-build-dir\dll;%PATH%

cd examples\cxx

x01.exe



Fill in the right directory for "plplot-build-dir" above.



Regards,



Arjen

Arjen,
Thanks, that worked to get past this hurdle.  nmake and nmake install worked.
Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer.
However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder.
How does that work?
David

Hi David,



I was a bit hasty, I think - the cairo device driver actually consists of a whole slew of them and you would have to set all of them to off to avoid the cairo device (things like PLD_wincairo and PLD_epscairo). If I read the CMake files correctly, then you should be able to turn off that family of devices by -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON. (I hope I am right this time)

Arjen,

Thanks.  I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning.



CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:



PLD_cairo



I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo.  No luck.



Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

On another note, not sure is you saw my other email status.  Installing from the IDE seemed to work for the Release build but not the Debug, several projects failed to build.  I cannot decipher why one would build and the other not.  Additionally the *.exe for the examples did not get created as in previous installs.  It seems that each try produces a different state.



Thank you in advance.

David

Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to take care of that is to use the option -DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

Additional info.
The cmd prompt install with cmake/nmake did not work (see previous email).Trying the IDE build again got me somewhere.  Both the Debug and Release builds and INSTALLs seem to have worked with the exception of test_wxwidgets_dyndriver in both and test_wingcc_dyndriver in the Release build.
 
So, I'm closer to having this built.  There are DLL in two locations.  I'm not sure if the two failed builds are critical or how to fix them.
Thanks in advance.David

I recently deleted all plplot folders and started from scratch.  Following the same instructions as before I could not get the same state back, the *.exe in the examples folders were working but integration with wxwidgets with the widgets driver was not.  Now the INSTALL build is given some 30,000 errors.  So, I've taken a step backwards.

Hi Jim, David,
 
 
 
I regularly build PLplot with Cygwin, MinGW-w64/MSYS2 and “bare” Windows (though not via VS) and can assure you that it all works fine. The configuration via CMake checks what libraries are available and will create makefiles that are suitable for the system. So the problems David reports are a bit puzzling.
 
 
 
David, we need the output from CMake at the very least to see what is going on (or not). It will help if you can also send the CMakeCache.txt file, as this shows what variables are set.

In general, is there a list of dll and other files that should be made.  I've tried installing several times using Visual Studio IDE, command prompt, cygwin, and mingw, and all have failed at some point.
 

 
 
I’ve been using msys2 and mingw lately and have not tried cygwin in awhile.  Can you reply with a log file from cmake?  Thanks

Hi David,



I also saw that you are using version 3.10 of CMake. I use 3.9.4 myself. Could you try with that version?



Regards,



Arjen

Hi David,



I see the regular output to the screen from Cmake, but I do not see the messages:

-- Configuring done

-- Generating done

-- Build files have been written to: (build directory)

I am not sure if they are written to standard output or standard error, but did you see these messages?

Subject: Re: RE: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

Arjen,

Attached is an output from cmake and the CMakeCache file from the Debug dir.
Ideally I would like to use it with visual studio as I have wxWidgets working in that environment, but building with the IDE is not essential.

Really, I'd like to understand what is happening.

I recently deleted all plplot folders and started from scratch.  Following the same instructions as before I could not get the same state back, the *.exe in the examples folders were working but integration with wxwidgets with the widgets driver was not.  Now the INSTALL build is given some 30,000 errors.  So, I've taken a step backwards.

Thank you in advance,
David

David, we need the output from CMake at the very least to see what is going on (or not). It will help if you can also send the CMakeCache.txt file, as this shows what variables are set.

Hi Sergey:

The plwid function has long been deprecated. During that time our
examples have been consistent (they use plwidth rather than plwid). So
somehow I believe you are attempting to compile really old examples
with a new PLplot version, and that is not possible for such
backwards-incompatible changes.

To avoid such backwards-incompatibility issues, I suggest you use the
latest PLplot version (currently 5.13.0, but the release of 5.14.0
should be happening fairly soon this year) including the compatible
set of examples that are distributed with that version.

Note, also that for our forthcoming release (5.14.0) plwid will be
changed from a deprecated status (only available if you use the
-DPL_DEPRECATED=ON option to cmake) to completely removed status
because it has been deprecated for such a long time.

I am betting that the problem is that the DLL cannot be found.  There are a couple of solutions, the two simplest is to add the location of the plplot dll to the PATH variable or copy the dll to the example directory.  Supposedly there is some way to configure Visual Studio to do the path, but I could never get it to work—it was simpler to copy.  Your kung-fu is probably better and if you figure it out, let me know and I will update the documentation.

[Plplot-general] Plplot and wxWidgets help

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

I would like some assistance getting plplot working with wxWidgets.  I've been developing GUI's to run various research code I've developed and I'd like to use plplot to make 3-dim plots in a window (or panel) within the GUI.
I've been using wxWidgets version 3.1.0, PLplot version 5.13.0, and Visual Studio 2017 Community.
Following the instructions here
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/
seemed to work (with appropriate changes for the VS version), generated the Release and Debug code and examples.  The *.exe all run but I cannot run the examples in the IDE with Ctrl+F5.
I am trying to run the wxWidgets example cpp provided with PLplot.  The project recognizes the widgets library and include paths but not any plplot includes.  
Following the instructions here
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_Visual_CXX_CLI/
 led to some errors.  The first cmake call seemed to work in that it created the files in the build-plplot dir.  But nmake generated a bunch of LNK2019 errors related to cairo, and three fatal errors U1077: 
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\...\CMake\bin\cmake.exe"' : return code ... Stop.
NMAKE : ... : '"C:\...\VC\Tools\...\nmake.exe"' ...NAMKE : ... : same as above
Thank you in advance for your assistance.David

Hi Eckhard:

Please keep this discussion on list so everyone reading it now and in
the future via the list archive can potentially benefit.

What version of fortran compiler, operating system?  What version of
PLplot?  Do you use any special CMake options to influence our build system?

The reason I ask is I just don't understand the results you are
getting. For example, as far as I know p(1:nl2) and p (and similarly
for the rest) should act identically as arguments. Also, did plscmap1l
emit a warning because rev was the wrong size (1 too large) above?  It
should have, but you didn't mention it so I am wondering if somehow
you are accessing a really old version of our Fortran binding.

PLplot has two colour maps.  cmap0 uses arbitrary discrete colours in
no particular order while cmap1
(set for example by plscmap1l and plscmap1n) uses colours which
are continuous (vary smoothly through their entire range using
a floating point index that ranges from 0 to 1.

Please look at
http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plscmap1n.html and
follow the link there to discussion of cmap1.

Hi Eckhard:

See <http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/API.html> for
an overview of the documentation of our API especially the redacted
form (all redundant dimensions dropped since the language arrays
themselves carry the dimension information) which occurs now for all
our languages other than C (and C++ for now, but we plan to change to
redacted form in that case as well).  The other general advice there is to
look carefully at our examples to see how our language binding
API is used in practice.

In particular, the redacted form of plscmap1l is given in the last
part of
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plscmap1l.html>
(and also in the equivalent pdf documentation) as

plscmap1l(itype, intensity, coord1, coord2, coord3, alt_hue_path)

i.e., the redundant (in Fortran and most other languages) npts
*must* be dropped from the call.

Note before each release I am careful to check that each of our
standard examples in all languages builds and runs without issues and
produces the same results as that same example written in all
our supported languagues.  So you did absolutely the correct thing by
looking at a Fortran example to learn how to call plscmap1l, but you
should have followed the example exactly, i.e., use the redacted form
of the API for Fortran.  Note also if you consult that example (or the
documentation of plscmap1l), that pos, r, g, and b all have the same
number of points, but rev must always have one less.  If the plscmap1l
call doesn't follow that constraint, then that Fortran routine
generates a warning message.

Thank you for your interest in PLplot.  I haven't tried pgplot in a
long time but I understand there are many similarities with PLplot
since PLplot was originally designed using pgplot as a model back in
the 1980's.  However, there has been a lot of water under the bridge
since then so you will also find many differences (e.g., I presume the
redacted dimensions for the Fortran case are one such instance). 
Anyhow, continue to ask questions here as you transition from pgplot,
and you should be okay.

>>AM: The reason for this is that the Fortran API uses the so-called redacted form of the argument list. It uses the fact that Fortran, as of the Fortan 90 standard, can pass array descriptors rather than simple starting addresses. This means that it is not necessary to add the size of the arrays explicitly. If you need to pass a portion of an array you can do so by passing an array section.

To illustrate:

call plscmap1l(.true., pos(1:2), r(1:2), g(1:2), b(1:2), rev(1:1))

would have the required effect. In general, however, we seldom need to pass so many array sections.

C lacks this ability, so the C API explicitly requires passing the array sizes.

In general using the redacted form prevents a lot of mistakes - just consider typing in the wrong size:

real, dimension(10) :: x, y

npts = 100

call plpoin( npts, x, y, 9 )

Hi All

.. I am new to this list. Trying to migrate from pgplot to plplot

I have a problem with plscmap1l . The documentation gives on page 140 
the call

plscmap1l ( itype , npts , intensity , coord1 , coord2 , coord3 ,

however if I I enter the entry npts I get an error message.

For example, the example x20f.f90

if I change this to

call plscmap1l(.true., 2, pos, r, g, b, rev)




for 2 sample points I get the error message

Hi Wadud:

As a general rule, our standard examples are the best demonstration of
how to combine PLplot subroutine calls together.  So if you look in
examples/fortran/x*.f90 you will see that examples/fortran/x11f.f90
has a call to plot3d.  In addition, after each call to pladv (which
advances to a new page), there are other important calls to plplot
routines such as plvpor, plwind, plw3d (which you did include above),
and plbox3, before it is possible to call plot3d.  So using one page
of example 11 as a model, you should be able to soon get your own
example to work properly.

To see the plot results for example 11 + our code written in a number
of different languages including fortran to generate that plot, take
a look at <http://plplot.org/examples.php?demo=11>.

Documentation for all the PLplot routines I have mentioned can
be found at <http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/>.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Alan

              0.0_rp, 100.0_rp, 90.0_rp, 0.0_rp )
  call PLOT3D( x, y, A, DRAW_LINEXY, .true. )
  call PLEND( )

However, when I execute my code, I get the following runtime error messages:

*** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION ***
plw3d: Please set up 2-d window first, aborting operation

*** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION ***

The documentation for PLW3D doesn't mention that I need to call other
subroutines. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Re: [Plplot-general] Another way to change the plotting font

[Frédéric <ufo...@gm...>]

> The first thing you should do is to ask on the

I found the following in wxPdfDocument (pdffontmanager.cpp):
#if defined(__WXMSW__)
#include <wx/msw/registry.h>
#elif defined(__WXGTK__)
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>
#elif defined(__WXMAC__)
#include "wx/pdffontmacosx.h"
#endif

So I guess fontconfig is used only on linux, at least for
wxPdfDocument. I have not found for wxWidgets itself.

For wxWidgets itself, this is what I found from
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/overview_font.html:
"A font is determined by the following parameters (not all of them
have to be specified, of course):
Point size, Family, Style, Weight, Underlining, Face name (If NULL, a
default typeface will chosen based on the family).

Specifying a family, rather than a specific typeface name, ensures a
degree of portability across platforms because a suitable font will be
chosen for the given font family, however it doesn't allow to choose a
font precisely as the parameters above don't suffice, in general, to
identify all the available fonts and this is where using the native
font descriptions may be helpful - see below.

Under Windows, the face name can be one of the installed fonts on the
user's system. Since the choice of fonts differs from system to
system, either choose standard Windows fonts, or if allowing the user
to specify a face name, store the family name with any file that might
be transported to a different Windows machine or other platform."

So it seems possible to choose a particular font based on its name.
But is it possible to provide the font files to be sure the font is
found, I don't know.

Hi Phil:

Let's back up a bit.  The first thing you should do is to ask on the
wxwidgets list how users can specify the specific fonts corresponding
to the wxwidgets generic fonts on both Linux and Windows.  If the
answer is not fontconfig, then you should evaluate the convenience of
this non-fontconfig method compared to directly supporting specific fonts within the
wxwidgets-related PLplot code.

However, if the answer is fontconfig (which I think is likely the case
since that is such useful cross-platform software for this very
purpose) read on.

I have read sufficiently to know in general what fontconfig is capable
of, but I am typically quite content with its default choices so I
have never learned fontconfig details.  So to answer your specific
fontconfig questions above I suggest you look at a tutorial such as
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration> which shows
how to do user-specific (as opposed to system-wide) fontconfig changes
and also shows how to override the default fontconfig choices for
requested generic fonts.  Once you have gained the necessary
fontconfig knowledge from such reading, I think the method should
"just work" to achieve specific font choices for our "cairo" device
driver results on MinGW-w64/MSYS2 since fontconfig is such an integral
cross-platform part of the GTK+ stack of libraries.

After you have achieved specific font success with the cairo devices
in the above way, it is, of course, only a tiny step further to do the
same thing for -dev wxwidgets assuming the answer on the wxwidgets
mailing list is indeed fontconfig.  And in this case as well, you
should evaluate the convenience of this fontconfig method compared to
directly supporting specific fonts within the wxwidgets-related PLplot
code.

For your information, there is at least two well-known native Windows
binary downloads for fontconfig, and also a variant
of fontconfig that works on Windows with the aid of the cygwin dll.

That's interesting to know. So if fontconfig were available on a Windows system can it be set up so that when a font is created on wxWidgets with a particular style but blank typeface it will select a specific font? I would have suspected wxWidgets would be using the windows native font system?

If someone writes software using plplot and distributes it, do they need he user to install fontconfig too?

Can the setup be performed on an application basis or is it global?

I still think there is a good case for having the option to specify the typeface somehow. Either because someone wants a consistent look between plots and text, or because multiple people are creating plots on different systems that need to be consistent.
