Subject: [Perldl] PLPlot on Windows/XMing
Hi,
I am also trying to get working PLPlot on Windows. I followed the syntax
to get the window open on an X (Xming) but I get nothing or a file named
as the hostname.
use PDL;
use PDL::Graphics::PLplot;
# read in Earth image and draw an equator.
my $pl=PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'xwin', FILE => ':0');
my $x = sequence(10);
my $y = $x**2;
$pl->xyplot($x, $y);
$pl->close;
Firstly, note that the comment "# read in Earth image and draw an equator"
is wrong. This script doesn't do that.
For me, when I run that script in the cmd.exe shell I get:
#############
C:\_32\pscrpt\pdl-graphics-plplot>perl fabio.pl
Requested device xwin not available
Plotting Options:
< 1> wingcc Win32 GCC device
< 2> ps PostScript File (monochrome)
< 3> psc PostScript File (color)
< 4> xfig Xfig file
< 5> null Null device
< 6> mem User-supplied memory device
< 7> svg Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)
Enter device number or keyword:
#############
Then, if I enter 1, the wingcc window opens up and displays the graph.
In order to get output to a file, I need to alter the script slightly.
I need to change:
FILE => ':0'
to
FILE => 'fabio'
Then re-run the script and enter (eg) 7 when prompted for a "device number
or keyword". That then writes the output to an svg file named 'fabio' (in
the current directory), which I can view in Firefox.
If you're getting different behaviour, I need to know exactly what that
different behaviour is, including a copy'n'paste of what's happening in the
cmd.exe console.
If you can't copy from the cmd.exe console, click on the little cmd icon
(top left of console), select "properties" then click on the selection box
for "Quick Edit Mode". You'll then be able to copy'n'paste from the console.
And could you tell us the version of PDL, and the version of
PDL::Graphics::PLplot that's being found.
Cheers,
Rob
