Hi again Puneet: PLplot has nothing to do with 3D (openGL) support. I
guess that openGL is problematic for Darwin, but PLplot should be OK.

I guess I am sol using PDL for graphics because I am on a Mac, no?

sorry to be replying here to my own rantings... I went ahead and

I thought plplot was the prerequisite for PDL::Graphics::PLplot, but
it seems to be the other way around. Now I am really confused and
stuck.
Suggestions welcome.

In my quest to learn PDL, I am trying to create simple 2D arrays of z
values and plotting them, kinda like possible with this little R
program at http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=27
I have several questions in this regard, from the simplest, most
complex to the most complex but possibly simplest --
1. How do I do the above?
2. How do I determine what PDL sub-modules I have already installed?
3. How do I install PDL::Graphics::TriD on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.8?
I don't have this particular module installed, and when I tried to, I
got a boatload of error messages, so many that I don't know even where
to start. How do I capture these messages so I can try to trace back
as to what is failing? The final message from the failed cpan session
is

_XS_PDL_plParseOpts in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plAllocGrid in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plAlloc2dGrid in PLplot.o

So, seems like I don't have PLplot installed which is causing
PDL::Graphics::TriD to choke up. So, I downloaded PLplot and found
that it doesn't use the more familiar (to me) GNU autoconf mechanism.
Looking at its cmake instructions, I have come up with the following,
but before I run the following incantation and bugger up my machine, I
am seeking your advice -- is this suitable for a Mac OS X Leopard
installation?
~/Projects $ svn co

/usr/local/plplot/share/plplot<version>/examples/ $ ./plplot-test.sh
& plplot-test.sh.out
And, then, if the above works, then retry
cpan> install PDL::Graphics::TriD
