I have made (revision 12640) that change to the svn trunk version of
PLplot (what will become the next release of PLplot).  Thanks, Arjen,
for your expert Fortran guidance about the best thing to do here. 
More on the PLplot devel list about other implications of this
change.

I just checked the overview regularly provided by the ACS Fortran Forum about the
support for the features in the various standards by 11 different Fortran compilers and
binary, octal and hexadecimal constants have been supported for quite some time now
by these compilers. While I am not entirely sure this entry extends to the use in PARAMETER
statements, I think we can safely assume that this is the case.

My suggestion therefore is that we adjust the code and use the "integer, parameter" form
exclusively.

Should some one come up and complain about this, we will of course have to consider that
issue, but constants should be constants in my opinion.

bindings/f95/plplot_parameters.h is generated automatically by a sed
script that has been deliberately designed to create two styles in the
results.  One of those styles is the data style that you don't like,
and the other the parameter style you prefer.  The script uses the
data style for all hexadecimal (e.g., z'0') constants and the
parameter style for all normal integers.  What happened in
the above change was that we changed to hexadecimal constants for
all bit fields in our API.  All such data are powers of two so
the hexadecimal form is a lot easier to understand.

Of course, the important question s why we support two styles in that
sed script?  I am sure we did that deliberately with the motivation of
wanting to support a wide range of Fortran compilers.  In other
words we were worried that some
of them might complain about

integer, parameter :: PL_FCI_SANS = z'0'

but the data form that we use now should work for all of them.

The gfortran info documentation says something about this.

<quote>
Up to Fortran 95, BOZ literals [i.e., constants started with b', o',
or z'] were only allowed to initialize integer
variables in DATA statements.  Since Fortran 2003 BOZ literals are
also allowed as argument of REAL', DBLE', INT' and CMPLX'; the result
is the same as if the integer BOZ literal had been converted by
TRANSFER' to, respectively, real', double precision', integer' or
complex'.  As GNU Fortran extension the intrinsic procedures FLOAT',
DFLOAT', COMPLEX' and DCMPLX' are treated alike. 
</quote>

They then go on to say they support BOZ constants generally as an
extension to the Fortran standards prior to Fortran 2003.  So I assume
the above statement would work with gfortran, but because of the
uncertainty about whether it would work with other fortran compilers
we went with the conservative approach of sticking with the data style
for BOZ constants.

@Arjen: are we being too cautious here?  I note from
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Fortran2003 that gfortran already has almost
complete support for Fortran 2003 (and certainly the general BOZ
support), and I wonder if other fortran compilers are typically also
compliant with Fortran 2003, at least to the extent of general support
for integer parameter style above for BOZ constants?

[Plplot-general] Font setting parameters in Fortran90.

[James T. <jt...@gm...>]

It appears that in the Fortran 95 binding in 5.9.10, the font setting
constants (PL_FCI_SANS etc.) have become variables. In
bindings/f95/plplot_parameters.h we now have

      integer :: PL_FCI_SANS
      data PL_FCI_SANS / z'0' /
in place of

      integer, parameter :: PL_FCI_SANS = z'0'

Which cannot be used in a data initialization such as:

  integer, parameter, dimension(*) :: font_list = [PL_FCI_SANS,
PL_FCI_SERIF, &
       & PL_FCI_MONO, PL_FCI_SCRIPT, PL_FCI_SYMBOL]

Is there a good reason for this or is it a regression?

Hi Hubin,

congratulations, that is good to hear!

Of course we are all quite prepared to help out and the project could definitely use a simple tutorial :). Us developers focus so much on the build aspects, that we often do not pay attention to the aspects of simply learning to use it. The Wiki may be a good place to put it once it is in a decent shape.

Hi Hubin,

this is due to your program not being located in the build tree. PLplot uses a fixed directory structure to locate the drivers,
but you can influence that via the environment variable PLPLOT_DRV_DIR. Set it to the directory containing the driver info files (*.info).

Hi Fly:

I am glad to hear you have been making good progress with Arjen's
help.  But I thought I would jump in here with an answer
to your unicode questions.

PLplot's design is that _all_ strings in our API are interpreted as
the UTF-8 encoding of unicode when we translate those results into our
internal representation of unicode.  We chose the UTF-8 encoding over
all the other encoding alternatives for the strings in our API because
UTF-8 has a huge advantage over the others; ordinary ascii characters
are a subset.  So such strings can contain just single-byte ascii
characters or a mixture of those and multi-byte UTF-8 characters to
give complete access to all of unicode.

So adjust your unicode encoding to UTF-8 for all strings you use for
PLplot, and all our code should just build without issues.  Also, you
should note that most of our standard examples just use the ascii
subset of UTF-8.  And example 23 demonstrates you can work exclusively
in ascii if you are willing to input a lot of numerical escape codes.
But ultimately that is a rather clumsy approach to get access to
unicode so some of our examples (18, 24, 26, and 33) are written to
take advantage of the multi-byte subset of UTF-8. I notice it is those
examples where you are having trouble.  For them, you should not
change anything other than to convince Windows that the encoding is
UTF-8, and then all builds of all our libraries, devices, and examples
should proceed smoothly with no changes in the code required.

Once, everything has been built properly, then the further question is
which of our device drivers can properly use our unicode technology.
The answer is only our modern unicode-aware device drivers (svg,
psttf, cairo, qt, and wxwidgets) can render the results correctly for
examples 18, 23, 24, 26, and 33 with appropriate system font glyphs.
(The wxwidgets device has some unicode limitations we are currently
trying to overcome, but the rest are fine.)

Note that all the unicode-aware devices other than svg
requre certain external libraries be installed. (The psttf device driver
requires the libLASi, Pango, and Cairo external libraries; the cairo
device driver requires the Pango and Cairo external libraries; the qt
device driver requires the Qt4 external libraries, and the wxwidgets
device requires the external wxwidgets library.)  Those libraries
are readily available on Linux and Mac OS X, but can be an issue
on Windows.

One excellent option to get access to a lot of this unicode PLplot
functionality on Windows is to use Cygwin since that distribution of
software does contain the Pango, Cairo, and Qt4 external libraries
required by our cairo and qt device drivers, which are our two best
unicode-aware device drivers with many different devices to use. 
Arjen has recently tested that platform in detail, and largely gotten
good results with it.  See his recent comments in our Wiki.

However, if you prefer not to install Cygwin on Windows, and still
want access to the unicode part of PLplot (i.e., be able to use the
functionality that is presented for examples 18, 23, 24, 26, and 33)
then one good choice is the svg device which does not depend on any
external library. However, for that case you will need good svg
viewing software (e.g., the firefox browser) to view the svg results.

Another possibility is to build libLASi, Pango, Cairo, Qt4, and/or the
external wxwidgets library yourself.  Normally, that is difficult, but
I am working on a project (see cmake/build_projects) whose long-term
goal is to make such builds convenient on all platforms.  The
build_projects project is not ready at the moment but watch this space
for future announcements concerning it.

A final Windows possibility, of course, is simply to stick with the
ascii subset of UTF-8 and ignore the additional PLplot string
capabilities that are demonstrated by examples 18, 23, 24, 26, and 33.
But in my opinion that is a defeatist attitude, and I would advise
instead to (1) look carefully at the svg device results for those
examples with the firefox browser or some other good svg viewer to see
what you are missing, (2) install Cygwin to take advantage of the many
unicode-aware cairo and qt devices, or (3) in the long-term wait for a
convenient building solution from build_projects for all the external
libraries that are required by our unicode-aware devices.

Hi Fly,

could you try again WITHOUT the option -DLIB_TAG=sud

I have tested VS 2010 and while some strange things do occur, they did not interfer with the build process,
(One thing: I did set the number of threads in the build to 1 - Tools/Options/Projects and Solution/Build and Run - having
bad experiences with parallel builds before)

An alternative is to use the “Nmake Makefile” generator together with nmake.

it looks to me you forgot a space in the command line. Now the configuration that was created is

Add a space in the command-line just before -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF and try again.

Re: [Plplot-general] Device selection problems

[Ferrell, S. <sfe...@ya...>]

I think I may have found your problem.  Remove the check mark for 
ENABLE_DYNDRIVERS and re-build.  If that doesn't work then JPEG must be 
dependent on the wxWidgets.

You shouldn't have to delete the source directory.  I normally clear out the build folder though before generating a new VS solution to avoid any issues with VS and CMAKE in regard to left over  files that my might cause problems from a previous build.

Much of this pain could be avoided if the plplot maintainers would host binary images of the libraries for Windows and Linux.  This has been brought up in the past without any results.  You're welcome to my libraries if you think they will help.  Currently my libs are built for static linking under VS2008 but I can kick out the DLLs too if you want them.  They should work under VS2010 as well.

PLD_wingcc gets de-selected just like PLD_jpeg when I hit configure. In fact, the same is true for most PLD options. The ones checked by default stay, but only one or two I've tried actually stay once I hit configure. By the way, there is no reason why I would have to delete everything and start over for this to work, is there? I've been doing it every time I try something new, but it's getting a bit old.

Well, you're making progress.   But it is odd that jpeg still isn't showing up as an option.  When CMAKE unchecks a box of its own accord, it means there's a dependency that isn't being met.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this is happening because you haven't included a video driver in your build which is preventing the jpeg driver from being selected and built.

Add the PLD_wingcc driver to you build as well as PLD_jpeg and see what happens.  The PLD_wingcc driver is the Windows display driver coded for GCC but it compiles and works just fine under Visual Studio as well.

Ok, I did exactly that, but jpeg (or any options, for that matter) is still not showing up in my program. I ran PLplot's example x00, and it seems to be working fine with the exception that jpeg is not showing up as an option. When I run x00, this is the output:

Plotting Options:
< 1> ps        PostScript File (monochrome)

Enter device number or keyword (stream 1):


Why is jpeg not showing up?
There were no red lines, and I configured with the PLD_jpeg, BUILD_TEST, and BUILD_TESTING boxes checked. Strangely, whenever I have PLD_jpeg checked and hit Configure it gets un-checked. I tried hitting Generate after it was unchecked by Configure then running the program as well as simply checking it, hitting Generate, and running the program. Both yield the same results. Sorry for being such a pain. I just can't figure this out.

Yes, I'm referring to the upper window.  After running CMAKE,  all options in the upper windows will show red until you hit the Configure button.  You may or may not have to point it to the correct compiler again on your system.  If it asks again, just select the proper compiler and hit Configure again.  You should see most of the red lines disappear at this point.
Press Configure again, if there are any other items still listed in red in the upper window, deselect them if they are for an API/SDK that you don't use, such as wxWdigets or QT, and hit Configure again.  Keep doing that until all the red items in the upper windows are gone and you're left with nothing but white.  Then make sure you've placed a check mark in PLD_jpeg and any other output formats that you want, such as SVG or TIFF and hit Configure again.  At this point, if there are no more red items to deal with, hit the Generate button to create the VS solution and then load and run the solution in VS.  I always make sure to place a check in the BUILD_TEST and BUILD_TESTING boxs so that the examples get compiled and linked too.  That way I can quickly test an example exe and validate that everything is working as selected under CMAKE.

I'm still a bit confused. Your instructions are very clear, but in my CMake window, EVERY line is red. First, a clarification: You are talking about the upper window with all the options, not the lower output window, correct? Both have red items. Immediately after my step 4 (once the files are generated) every single option line is red. Obviously it would be pointless to go through and de-select everything, and I highly doubt that my computer lacks support for every part of PLplot.

Do not select the PLD_jpgqt driver unless you have the QT SDK installed and plan to use QT to develop for plplot. Same goes for FreeType, antigrain, wxWidgets, and a few other libraries.  If you don't have these libraries, do not select them.

You are also missing a couple steps in your list.
Step 5a)  Look for any items marked in red in the CMAKE window.  If any items are marked in red, it means that you are either missing some components needed for the build you've selected, such as wxWidgets, QT, FreeType, etc..or that you've chosen some build options that conflict with one another.
Step 5b) Resolve the options in red by either adding missing libraries and their respective paths and pressing configure again.  Or resolve them by removing check marks for conflicting build options and pressing configure.  Continue 5a and 5b until all the red lines are gone.
Set 5c)  After you've performed steps 5a and 5b and there are no more red items, then click Generate, allow CMAKE to create the new VS solution file and then open it in VS and run it per Step 7.

After running the "build_all solution", you won't see anything special and the jpeg driver will be added to the plplot DLL or the static plplot link-time lib file.  Once your examples are properly compiled and linked, the driver is embedded in the exe itself, so you won't see a separate or discrete jpeg driver-file or any other type of driver file.

Upon running your exe, if everything worked properly, you should see "jpeg" listed as an output option when you run the example.  Below is a text grab of Example X01c from my system set to use postscript, wxWidgets, SVG and DXF driver output.  Your examples, based on selecting PLD_jpeg should show at least the jpeg file driver if the build went properly.

c:\build-plplot\examples\c\release\x01c.exe [Enter]

PLplot library version: 5.9.10

Plotting Options:
< 1> ps        PostScript File (monochrome)
< 2> psc        PostScript File (color)
< 3> wxwidgets  wxWidgets DC
< 4> svg        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)

I tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I did:

1. Open CMake 2.8.11.2 GUI.
2. Select source and build directories (source is freshly updated from PLPlot's SVN trunk).
3. Click "Configure."
4. Select "Microsoft Visual Studio 11" from the drop-down tab, then hit Ok.
5. Once CMake generates the files, scroll down to PLD_jpeg and check its box (as well as PLD_jpgqt for good measure).
6. Click "Generate."
7. Go to the build directory, open plplot.sln, right-click "ALL_BUILD" and tell it to build.

After I did that, I searched the file for "jpg." The only things that showed up were cmake files, which aren't what I'm looking for, correct? I also did a search for "driver" and none of them had to do with jpegs, from what I could tell. I looked in the lib, dll, and driver folders and didn't see anything mentioned jpegs either. I also tried running my program again and got the same error as before. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and when you used CMAKE to initiate the building of plplot, did you make sure that you put checkmark in the box for PLD_jpeg?  That tells CMAKE to add JPEG drivers to your lib/dll.

The initial 3 errors are due to your program looking for color palette files that it requires and not finding them.  They're located under the plplot\bindings\tk\ folder of the plplot source tree.  There are also a number of palette files located in the plplot\data\

Copy the palette files to the folder where your exe is located and run it again.

Hi!
I’m completely new to PLplot. I’ve been trying to get it working for a while now, but I keep having problems with it. My goal is to use it to create plots in jpeg format. I’m not looking for interactive plots, a user interface, command line args, or anything fancy. I’m using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and I’m writing the code in C++. I’ve copied the x00 C++ example from the PLplot Examples page (nearly) word for word, and this is the output I get:

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap1 .pal file cmap1_default.pal

*** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION ***
plInitDispatchTable: Could not open drivers directory, aborting operation

Plotting Options:

Enter device number or keyword (stream 1):



According to the documentation I’ve seen, it should be listing output options for me. Of course, the fact it can’t find the drivers directory may have something to do with that. I’ve tried putting in “JPEG” and many other keywords I’ve seen ,but nothing works. What do I need to do to get this to output jpegs? Do I need some sort of special jpeg driver?

Thanks!

I’ve tried putting in “JPEG” and many other keywords I’ve seen ,but nothing works. What do I need to do to get this to output jpegs? Do I need some sort of special jpeg driver?

Thanks!

Re: [Plplot-general] Device selection problems

[Ferrell, S. <sfe...@ya...>]

Well, you're making progress.   But it is odd that jpeg still isn't showing up as an option.  When CMAKE unchecks a box of its own accord, it means there's a dependency that isn't being met.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this is happening because you haven't included a video driver in your build which is preventing the jpeg driver from being selected and built.

Add the PLD_wingcc driver to you build as well as PLD_jpeg and see what happens.  The PLD_wingcc driver is the Windows display driver coded for GCC but it compiles and works just fine under Visual Studio as well.

Ok, I did exactly that, but jpeg (or any options, for that matter) is still not showing up in my program. I ran PLplot's example x00, and it seems to be working fine with the exception that jpeg is not showing up as an option. When I run x00, this is the output:

Plotting Options:
< 1> ps         PostScript File (monochrome)
< 2> psc        PostScript File (color)
< 3> xfig       Fig file
< 4> null       Null device
< 5> mem        User-supplied memory device
< 6> svg        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)

Enter device number or keyword (stream 1):


Why is jpeg not showing up?
There were no red lines, and I configured with the PLD_jpeg, BUILD_TEST, and BUILD_TESTING boxes checked. Strangely, whenever I have PLD_jpeg checked and hit Configure it gets un-checked. I tried hitting Generate after it was unchecked by Configure then running the program as well as simply checking it, hitting Generate, and running the program. Both yield the same results. Sorry for being such a pain. I just can't figure this out.

Yes, I'm referring to the upper window.  After running CMAKE,  all options in the upper windows will show red until you hit the Configure button.  You may or may not have to point it to the correct compiler again on your system.  If it asks again, just select the proper compiler and hit Configure again.  You should see most of the red lines disappear at this point.
Press Configure again, if there are any other items still listed in red in the upper window, deselect them if they are for an API/SDK that you don't use, such as wxWdigets or QT, and hit Configure again.  Keep doing that until all the red items in the upper windows are gone and you're left with nothing but white.  Then make sure you've placed a check mark in PLD_jpeg and any other output formats that you want, such as SVG or TIFF and hit Configure again.  At this point, if there are no more red items to deal with, hit the Generate button to create the VS solution and then load and run the solution in VS.  I always make sure to place a check in the BUILD_TEST and BUILD_TESTING boxs so that the examples get compiled and linked too.  That way I can quickly test an example exe and validate that everything is working as selected under CMAKE.

I'm still a bit confused. Your instructions are very clear, but in my CMake window, EVERY line is red. First, a clarification: You are talking about the upper window with all the options, not the lower output window, correct? Both have red items. Immediately after my step 4 (once the files are generated) every single option line is red. Obviously it would be pointless to go through and de-select everything, and I highly doubt that my computer lacks support for every part of PLplot. I've attached a screenshot as well as the complete output, if you think it will help.

Do not select the PLD_jpgqt driver unless you have the QT SDK installed and plan to use QT to develop for plplot. Same goes for FreeType, antigrain, wxWidgets, and a few other libraries.  If you don't have these libraries, do not select them.

You are also missing a couple steps in your list.
Step 5a)  Look for any items marked in red in the CMAKE window.  If any items are marked in red, it means that you are either missing some components needed for the build you've selected, such as wxWidgets, QT, FreeType, etc..or that you've chosen some build options that conflict with one another.
Step 5b) Resolve the options in red by either adding missing libraries and their respective paths and pressing configure again.  Or resolve them by removing check marks for conflicting build options and pressing configure.  Continue 5a and 5b until all the red lines are gone.
Set 5c)  After you've performed steps 5a and 5b and there are no more red items, then click Generate, allow CMAKE to create the new VS solution file and then open it in VS and run it per Step 7. 

After running the "build_all solution", you won't see anything special and the jpeg driver will be added to the plplot DLL or the static plplot link-time lib file.  Once your examples are properly compiled and linked, the driver is embedded in the exe itself, so you won't see a separate or discrete jpeg driver-file or any other type of driver file.

Upon running your exe, if everything worked properly, you should see "jpeg" listed as an output option when you run the example.  Below is a text grab of Example X01c from my system set to use postscript, wxWidgets, SVG and DXF driver output.  Your examples, based on selecting PLD_jpeg should show at least the jpeg file driver if the build went properly. 

c:\build-plplot\examples\c\release\x01c.exe [Enter]

PLplot library version: 5.9.10

Plotting Options:
< 1> ps        PostScript File (monochrome)
< 2> psc        PostScript File (color)
< 3> wxwidgets  wxWidgets DC
< 4> svg        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)
< 5> dxf        AutoCAD 2D DXF File

Enter device number or keyword:


Hope this helps.

I tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I did:

1. Open CMake 2.8.11.2 GUI.
2. Select source and build directories (source is freshly updated from PLPlot's SVN trunk).
3. Click "Configure."
4. Select "Microsoft Visual Studio 11" from the drop-down tab, then hit Ok.
5. Once CMake generates the files, scroll down to PLD_jpeg and check its box (as well as PLD_jpgqt for good measure).
6. Click "Generate."
7. Go to the build directory, open plplot.sln, right-click "ALL_BUILD" and tell it to build.

After I did that, I searched the file for "jpg." The only things that showed up were cmake files, which aren't what I'm looking for, correct? I also did a search for "driver" and none of them had to do with jpegs, from what I could tell. I looked in the lib, dll, and driver folders and didn't see anything mentioned jpegs either. I also tried running my program again and got the same error as before. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and when you used CMAKE to initiate the building of plplot, did you make sure that you put checkmark in the box for PLD_jpeg?  That tells CMAKE to add JPEG drivers to your lib/dll.

The initial 3 errors are due to your program looking for color palette files that it requires and not finding them.  They're located under the plplot\bindings\tk\ folder of the plplot source tree.  There are also a number of palette files located in the plplot\data\

Copy the palette files to the folder where your exe is located and run it again.

Hi!
I’m completely new to PLplot. I’ve been trying to get it working for a while now, but I keep having problems with it. My goal is to use it to create plots in jpeg format. I’m not looking for interactive plots, a user interface, command line args, or anything fancy. I’m using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and I’m writing the code in C++. I’ve copied the x00 C++ example from the PLplot Examples page (nearly) word for word, and this is the output I get:

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***

Re: [Plplot-general] Device selection problems

[Ferrell, S. <sfe...@ya...>]

Yes, I'm referring to the upper window.  After running CMAKE,  all options in the upper windows will show red until you hit the Configure button.  You may or may not have to point it to the correct compiler again on your system.  If it asks again, just select the proper compiler and hit Configure again.  You should see most of the red lines disappear at this point.
Press Configure again, if there are any other items still listed in red in the upper window, deselect them if they are for an API/SDK that you don't use, such as wxWdigets or QT, and hit Configure again.  Keep doing that until all the red items in the upper windows are gone and you're left with nothing but white.  Then make sure you've placed a check mark in PLD_jpeg and any other output formats that you want, such as SVG or TIFF and hit Configure again.  At this point, if there are no more red items to deal with, hit the Generate button to create the VS solution and then load and run the solution in VS.  I always make sure to place a check in the BUILD_TEST and BUILD_TESTING boxs so that the examples get compiled and linked too.  That way I can quickly test an example exe and validate that everything is working as selected under CMAKE.

I'm still a bit confused. Your instructions are very clear, but in my CMake window, EVERY line is red. First, a clarification: You are talking about the upper window with all the options, not the lower output window, correct? Both have red items. Immediately after my step 4 (once the files are generated) every single option line is red. Obviously it would be pointless to go through and de-select everything, and I highly doubt that my computer lacks support for every part of PLplot. I've attached a screenshot as well as the complete output, if you think it will help.

Do not select the PLD_jpgqt driver unless you have the QT SDK installed and plan to use QT to develop for plplot. Same goes for FreeType, antigrain, wxWidgets, and a few other libraries.  If you don't have these libraries, do not select them.

You are also missing a couple steps in your list.
Step 5a)  Look for any items marked in red in the CMAKE window.  If any items are marked in red, it means that you are either missing some components needed for the build you've selected, such as wxWidgets, QT, FreeType, etc..or that you've chosen some build options that conflict with one another.
Step 5b) Resolve the options in red by either adding missing libraries and their respective paths and pressing configure again.  Or resolve them by removing check marks for conflicting build options and pressing configure.  Continue 5a and 5b until all the red lines are gone.
Set 5c)  After you've performed steps 5a and 5b and there are no more red items, then click Generate, allow CMAKE to create the new VS solution file and then open it in VS and run it per Step 7. 

After running the "build_all solution", you won't see anything special and the jpeg driver will be added to the plplot DLL or the static plplot link-time lib file.  Once your examples are properly compiled and linked, the driver is embedded in the exe itself, so you won't see a separate or discrete jpeg driver-file or any other type of driver file.

Upon running your exe, if everything worked properly, you should see "jpeg" listed as an output option when you run the example.   Below is a text grab of Example X01c from my system set to use postscript, wxWidgets, SVG and DXF driver output.  Your examples, based on selecting PLD_jpeg should show at least the jpeg file driver if the build went properly. 

c:\build-plplot\examples\c\release\x01c.exe [Enter]

PLplot library version: 5.9.10

Plotting Options:
< 1> ps         PostScript File (monochrome)
< 2> psc        PostScript File (color)
< 3> wxwidgets  wxWidgets DC
< 4> svg        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)
< 5> dxf        AutoCAD 2D DXF File

Enter device number or keyword:


Hope this helps.

I tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I did:

1. Open CMake 2.8.11.2 GUI.
2. Select source and build directories (source is freshly updated from PLPlot's SVN trunk).
3. Click "Configure."
4. Select "Microsoft Visual Studio 11" from the drop-down tab, then hit Ok.
5. Once CMake generates the files, scroll down to PLD_jpeg and check its box (as well as PLD_jpgqt for good measure).
6. Click "Generate."
7. Go to the build directory, open plplot.sln, right-click "ALL_BUILD" and tell it to build.

After I did that, I searched the file for "jpg." The only things that showed up were cmake files, which aren't what I'm looking for, correct? I also did a search for "driver" and none of them had to do with jpegs, from what I could tell. I looked in the lib, dll, and driver folders and didn't see anything mentioned jpegs either. I also tried running my program again and got the same error as before. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and when you used CMAKE to initiate the building of plplot, did you make sure that you put checkmark in the box for PLD_jpeg?  That tells CMAKE to add JPEG drivers to your lib/dll.

The initial 3 errors are due to your program looking for color palette files that it requires and not finding them.  They're located under the plplot\bindings\tk\ folder of the plplot source tree.  There are also a number of palette files located in the plplot\data\

Copy the palette files to the folder where your exe is located and run it again.

Hi!
I’m completely new to PLplot. I’ve been trying to get it working for a while now, but I keep having problems with it. My goal is to use it to create plots in jpeg format. I’m not looking for interactive plots, a user interface, command line args, or anything fancy. I’m using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and I’m writing the code in C++. I’ve copied the x00 C++ example from the PLplot Examples page (nearly) word for word, and this is the output I get:

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap1 .pal file cmap1_default.pal

*** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION ***
plInitDispatchTable: Could not open drivers directory, aborting operation

Plotting Options:

Enter device number or keyword (stream 1):



According to the documentation I’ve seen, it should be listing output options for me. Of course, the fact it can’t find the drivers directory may have something to do with that. I’ve tried putting in “JPEG” and many other keywords I’ve seen ,but nothing works. What do I need to do to get this to output jpegs? Do I need some sort of special jpeg driver?

Thanks!

The initial 3 errors are due to your program looking for color palette files that it requires and not finding them.  They're located under the plplot\bindings\tk\ folder of the plplot source tree.  There are also a number of palette files located in the plplot\data\

Copy the palette files to the folder where your exe is located and run it again.

Hi!
I’m completely new to PLplot. I’ve been trying to get it working for a while now, but I keep having problems with it. My goal is to use it to create plots in jpeg format. I’m not looking for interactive plots, a user interface, command line args, or anything fancy. I’m using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and I’m writing the code in C++. I’ve copied the x00 C++ example from the PLplot Examples page (nearly) word for word, and this is the output I get:

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap0 file cmap0_default.pal

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
Unable to open cmap1 .pal file cmap1_default.pal

*** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION ***
plInitDispatchTable: Could not open drivers directory, aborting operation

Plotting Options:

Enter device number or keyword (stream 1):



According to the documentation I’ve seen, it should be listing output options for me. Of course, the fact it can’t find the drivers directory may have something to do with that. I’ve tried putting in “JPEG” and many other keywords I’ve seen ,but nothing works. What do I need to do to get this to output jpegs? Do I need some sort of special jpeg driver?

Thanks!

You have not specified the correct generator string (which has to be
exact).  To see the possibilities look at the bottom of what you get
from the command

cmake --help

I notice for 2.8.11.2, that list of
generators includes

"Visual Studio 10"

(not "Visual Studio 10 2010").  I have no experience with that generator
myself, but it appears from the way you describe your system as
"vs2010", it is that generator that you want.

Good luck, and thanks for your interest in PLplot.
