I think that the support from pgplot and plplot is quite good, considering the
value of a picture based on the the value of data represented, as in in general
in Science. In a common usage, or before "the discovery" the ability to get
ready and with a friendly startup can make some difference.
I actually do not know the story of grwnd.exe. It is relevant that it allows
pgplot working on windows. I was just thinking that a boundary as the graphic
output could benefit from a more rock solid component, being what the user first
sees.
At a mixed linux/windows user could show as a patch.
Hi Fabio-
I'm glad you have been able to get PLplot and
PGPLOT working for you. Improving the baseline
graphics for PDL has been an on-going project.
In fact, the PDL-2.4.11 release is already
planned for this Spring to include new graphics
modules for PDL (interactive and for publications).
Another planned improvement is development of a
generic OpenGL device driver that could work
with either PGPLOT or PLplot and probably others.
If you are interested in contributing to PDL,
here are a number of quick start ideas:
(1) Documentation and installation instructions
feedback. We're working to make PDL as 1-click
as possible but we need feedback from new users
on where things are unclear, what works, what
doesn't...
(2) As you use PDL, if the online documentation is
not clear, correct, or complete, please give us
fixed POD or let us know. PDL is a substantial
set of modules and we don't have time to develop
and review all the docs on an on-going basis.
We fix things as we come across them but, as
with everything, it takes time.
(3) Web site feedback. If something is not clear,
please let us know so we can do some cleanup
before the PDL-2.4.10 release at the end of
this month.
Cheers,
Chris
