Hi,
sorry, that came from a cut and paste.
I am getting this error now, using wingcc.
PLPLOT ERROR, IMMEDIATE EXIT ***
Unable to either (1) open/find or (2) allocate memory for the font
file
Program aborted
Is there something to set?
Thanks

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
