As a general rule for everybody here, I would suggest one of the first
places you should always look when attempting a new plot with PLplot
is http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php followed up by clicking
on the thumbnail of any example which might be of interest to get
access to the source code that generated the example as well as
clickable thumbnails for all pages of the example (if there is more
than one such page then http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php
only gives a sample thumbnail corresponding to just one of the pages
of such examples).

@Dan: Thanks for your interest in using PLplot.  Is the first demo
plot in http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php similar to what you
had in mind?  That shows 4 plots on the page but different
arrangements of multiple plots per page are allowed. If you follow up
as suggested above by looking at the code you might notice a reference
to plssub documented at
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.9/plssub.html.

Also look for references to plssub in
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.9/viewport_window.html
to see how sub-pages fit into the overall scheme of view surfaces,
(sub-)pages, viewports and windows that is used to help specify
overall plot locations by PLplot.

Dan,

PLplot does support multiple windows / streams. See example 14 for a 
demonstration of how this works.

[Plplot-general] Multiple plot windows

[Dan B. <dan...@at...>]

How do you display multiple plot windows on the screen, one plot per window?
All the plotting functions seem to assume a single global plot.

Such an old Linux system (kernel 2.6.18 was released 5 (!) years ago)
is a major concern.  Our principal C library should build OK since it
does not have a lot of dependencies on other libraries.  Also, the
simple ps (which supplies the ps and psc devices) and svg (which
supplies the svg device) device drivers should build OK because they
don't have any other library dependencies.  The WARNING messages below
are simply telling you that the build system is eliminating parts of
PLplot that cannot be built properly on your system. But what remains
should still work. So I suggest you go ahead with building and
installing PLplot and try out the psc and svg devices to get a "feel"
for what PLplot can do for you.  Note you may be only limited to
viewing the results from the psc device since Linux SVG viewers were
either nonexistent or extremely buggy 5 years ago.

If you like that first taste of PLplot, then sophisticated PLplot
device drivers such as psttf, cairo, or qt are probably what you need
(see comments below), but they do depend strongly on external
libraries (respectively libLASi, the pango and cairo libraries, and
the Qt4 stack of libraries).  Those libraries will be either
nonexistent on your system or in such a primitive and buggy early
state that they cannot be used by our device drivers.

> 
> I want to use plplot for generating png/postscript/pdf within C programs and I do not want a GUI or interactive platform.

Note that -dev psttf only supplies PostScript results (although much
better-looking than those from -dev psc). Furthermore, its libLASi
dependency in turn depends on the pango/cairo subset of the GTK+ stack
of libraries (see discussion below).  So there is no reduction of
dependencies when you go with this choice. To satisfy all of your
png/postscript/pdf needs I suggest you instead try either our cairo
device driver (which supplies the pngcairo, pscairo, and pdfcairo
devices amongst many others) or else our qt device driver (which
supplies the pngqt, epsqt, and pdfqt devices amongst many others).

Let's suppose you decide to use the cairo devices.  Then you have
just two choices.

(i) Build a modern GTK+ stack of libraries (that stack includes
pango and cairo as well as all other libraries those libraries
depend on) on your current ancient Linux distribution.

(ii) Install a modern Linux distribution.

Choice (i) is very far from trivial (I did that myself years ago, but
that was so difficult I wouldn't want to do it again).  Thus, I would
suggest you try (ii) instead.

If you decided to use qt instead, then you have the choice of building
the Qt4 stack of libraries on your ancient Linux distribution or else
installing a modern Linux distro. I suggest the latter choice is the
much easier one.

Whatever you decide to do, let us know how it goes. Thanks for your
interest in using PLplot.

Re: [Plplot-general] how to add a colorbar to a shaded/filled contour plot

[Derek L. <de...@bo...>]

I believe there is a new plcolorbar function in PLplot 5.9.8, though it is still considered experimental, and the API may change.  See the thread on the plplot-general mailing list (plcolorbar in PLplot 5.9.8) from 02-August-2011 for some pointers.

[Divakar V. <di...@um...>]

  I tried to install plplot using the directions given at 
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Building_PLplot

The installation gave a number of warnings (listed at the end of this 
email). One of the warnings is:

-- WARNING: pango, pangoft2, or lasi not found with pkg-config.
    Setting PLD_psttf to OFF.  Please install all of these packages
    and/or set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately.

Any help getting rid of  this warning would be most helpful.

I am on the Linux system  "Linux version 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5

Yes, this can be done in perl using system() to launch a separate perl 
process - and that works quite well even on Windows. (It can be a bit of a 
kludge to code, but it's the approach I'll probably take in order to "fix" 
the problem with the PDL::Graphics::PLplot test script.)

I agree that a thread safety option would be a welcome addition - though I'm 
by no means *complaining* about its absence.
I just wanted some reassurance that my summation of the situation was not 
amiss, and I think you've given me that reassurance.
Thanks for the reply, Hez !

Rob,

Your diagnosis is likely dead on.  I have not used PLplot + Perl +
fork + Windows, but if it works the way you suggest then using PLplot
in that environment is unsafe.  There are a number of global state
variables used, both in tracking the current state of PLplot as a
whole as well as in certain plotting functions.  The only safe way to
use PLplot in this environment is to ensure that PLplot calls are all
handled from a single thread.  If you do have a way to spawn multiple,
independent processes then using PLplot in each of those processes
would be safe.

Thread safety would be a wonderful thing to have in PLplot, and it
will hopefully be added at some point.  This work will require a large
number of changes to PLplot's internals and likely broad changes to
the API as well.  Contributions toward this, of course, are more than
welcome!

I hope this helps,

Hez

[Plplot-general] Making plplot thread-safe

[Sisyphus <sis...@op...>]

Hi,

Is there an option for achieving a "thread-safe" build of plplot ?

On Win32, the use of the 'fork' function in the PDL::Graphics::PLplot (perl) 
module test script causes a problem - namely that, after the forked process 
has exited, there's still *something* hanging about that intereferes with 
the way that the remainder of the script behaves.
On Win32 perls, fork() is implemented via multi-threading, and I suspect 
that this problem might go away if one (or more) plplot global(s) was 
instead assigned on a per-thread basis using TLS (thread local storage).

My diagnosis might be quite wrong, but....

Cheers,
Rob

I actually don't know. I removed all the malicious code and asked Google 
to review the page again. If the review is positive the warning should 
be gone, but I don't know how long this does take. You can still access 
the site though, so I moved everything back in place (minus the malware 
stuff, that is ;).

No, it is good to know that, and thanks for that report.  In
retrospect, the reason why that works is ltdl_win32.c is only used for
the dynamic drivers case, and that case isn't supported by the static
build.

Of course, the static build doesn't support lots of other PLplot
features so we emphasize the shared library with dynamic devices build
instead as the default.  And it is for that default case, that 5.9.8
fails to build for Windows.

Therefore, we intend to deal with this issue with some urgency. We are
right in the middle of considering the quickest way to (a) completely
test the patch on all Windows systems accessible to us, and (b) make
the (tested) patch widely available for all our numerous Windows
users.

Hi Hong:

Thanks very much for your report which is an extremely important one
in my opinion.

The issue occurs in src/plcore.c when we call lt_dlmakeresident.  That
call was put in during the last release cycle by another developer and
me to fix another problem. But we completely missed the fact this
function has not been implemented in ltdl_win32.c, which is the
libltdl replacement that we use just for Windows.  Doh!

I think this bug means that 5.9.8 will not work on any Windows
platform. I am not happy that we missed this issue to start with, but
I am even less happy that our Windows testing of this release fell
down so badly, but there it is. We will try to do a lot better for our
further releases!

Could you try the attached patch, please, to see if that solves the
issue?  It implements lt_dlmakeresident in ltdl_win32.c, but as a
no-op. Later, we will probably want to actually implement a
lt_dlmakeresident in ltdl_win32.c that does what the libltdl Linux
version does, but this patch is at least a start down that trail, and
should be good enough for now since it should just give the same
Windows platform behaviour as for 5.9.7.

Hi Frank:

If you look at build.log it says "nothing to be done" for most targets
because you didn't start with an empty build tree (which I recommend you
do every time when trying to figure out errors like this).

I suggest you generate it again starting from an empty build tree
since one of those targets that was not rebuilt had something to do
with wxwidgets, and those familiar with wxwidgets may need that
detailed build information for that target to help interpret the
link error messages you received in your cmd window.

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Hi Frank:

I will let those familiar with wxwidgets on Windows comment on the
linking errors you encountered in that case, but I suggest that
you also try building a simple PLplot with minimal external
dependencies to make sure the core library is working OK.
I give a cookbook for such a simple build and test below.

On 2011-10-03 15:07-0000 FrankTheFox wrote:

> ENABLE_DYNDRIVERS:      ON
> DRIVERS_LIST: mem;null;ps;svg;wingcc;wxwidgets;xfig
> DEVICES_LIST: mem;null;ps;svg;wingcc;wxwidgets;xfig

For the simple test case, eliminate wingcc and wxwidgets by using the
cmake options -DPLD_wingcc=OFF -DPLD_wxwidgets=OFF Also, for the
simple case I would eliminate all bindings other than C and C++ using
the combination of cmake options -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON
-DENABLE_cxx=ON

> And CMakeError.log file reports:

That file always shows lots of uninteresting errors because what CMake
does for system introspection is a lot of different tests.  If
something fails, it notes it often finds other alternatives, and
adjusts the build accordingly.  So I would only pay attention to that
file in case of some error that was impossible to understand
otherwise.

In any case, please attach files separately rather than mixing them in
with your e-mail.  That allows people to read your e-mail without
necessarily looking at the detailed results. Also, it was hard to tell
where the CMakeError.log file quit, and the results of your actual
build started.  I assume that the build output (as opposed to cmake
output and CMakeError.log output) begins where you said the following
in your e-mail

> In my console window i see:
>
>
> Linking CXX shared module ..\dll\wxwidgets.dll

[...]

If so, it means you only captured a small part of the build output. 
What you need to do is capture it all.  On bash (which is available
with MSYS) all you would need to do to capture all output is

cmake >& cmake.out
make >& make.out

etc.

I assume there are similar ways of doing that reliably in a
non-bash environment, but I don't know what they are.

Note, that the "MinGW Makefiles" generator for cmake will not work if
"sh.exe" which is an alias for "bash.exe" is on your PATH.  On the
other hand, if you use the "MSYS Makefiles" generator, then sh.exe and
bash.exe must be on your PATH.  Note that generator is a more natural fit to
the PLplot build since it also allows you to test PLplot (which is done
with several bash scripts that are run automatically as part of the
testing procedures, see below).

Getting back to the simple test case I was talking about before, here is
the cookbook that I suggest.

1. Download the latest MinGW/MSYS, and put the MinGW part of it on
your PATH to get access to those compilers, and the MSYS part of it on
your PATH so that MSYS make and MSYS bash are both accessible.

2. Configure a simple PLplot using the "MSYS Makefiles" generator
including test infrastructure (-DBUILD_TEST=ON) for that case.

cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" \
-DPLD_wingcc=OFF -DPLD_wxwidgets=OFF \
-DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_cxx=ON \
-DBUILD_TEST=ON /path/to/top/directory/of/source/tree >& cmake.out

3. Put the absolute path of the dll subdirectory of the top-level
build-tree directory on your PATH.  That's where all the dll's will
reside as a result of the build part of the next step.

4. Build and test the result

make test_noninteractive >& make_test_interactive.out

Build and test are combined together by this target because
of the nice dependencies created for make by the cmake configuration
step.

Look for any errors in those *.out files. Also, please send the
cmake.out and make_test_interactive.out files to me as attachments to
a private e-mail so I can confirm whatever you find, compare with
my wine results, etc.

If that simple build and test works well, then that gives lots of confidence
that the only remaining issue for you is the wxwidgets linking issue.
