Hi David, After seeing the presentation on YAPC I thought I would try to
install the modules below on a Vista 32 bit machine (strawberry 5.12), but I
can't seem to get them to install. Attached is the output. I am not sure if it
is the / vs \ that is causing the issue, let me know if you have any insights.
Thanks,
Btw, let me know if this email is showing the hard returns at 72 char. I have
set the options several times, but I can't seem to see them actually taking
effect when I send as plain text. Is HTML email the better option?

Subject: [Perldl] Announcing PDL::Graphics::Prima and company
All -
It is with great pride and joy that I finally release the first alphas of not
one, not two, but three distributions to CPAN:
* PDL::Drawing::Prima - PDL bindings for many Prima::Drawable functions
* App::Prima::REPL - a first attempt at a grapical PDL workspace
* PDL::Graphics::Prima - 2D plotting library for PDL built on Prima
You can install all of these using standard CPAN methods. For example, at your
system prompt you could install PDL::Graphics::Prima like so:
cpan PDL::Graphics::Prima
The only external dependency you'll need is a C compiler. If you've not
installed Prima before and you use Linux, you'll need your X11 dev files to
compile that module, too. (On Windows and Mac, if you have a C compiler, you
already have everything you need to compile Prima.)
PDL::Drawing::Prima uses the power of PDL's threading engine to automatically
perform the same drawing operation over many different input values.
PDL-threaded drawing operations take all applicable Prima drawing properties as
*optional* arguments, so that (for example) drawing a large set of lines with
the same color is nearly as simple as drawing a large set of lines with
different colors. It also adds a threaded symbol drawing function that makes it
easy to draw various standard N-gons like triangles, pentagons, stars, and
asterisks.
App::Prima::REPL is my first attempt at a PDL workspace that uses Prima. On the
spectrum of Perl/PDL work spaces, it is more user-friendly than the pdl and
pdl2 shells, but it is not meant for editing script files (it can, but it's not
great) and it is not nearly as sophisticated as Padre. It is lightly modeled
after my experience with Matlab and IDL, and it targets potential users who
would like to use PDL but who want the comfort of a GUI interface. Actually, it
does not require PDL::Graphics::Prima, or even PDL, but if you later install
them it will automatically load them for you.
PDL::Graphics::Prima is the root concept that spurred all these projects and is
PDL's first 2D plotting library written in Perl. (There are external plotting
libraries that have Perl/PDL bindings, but they are written in C or FORTRAN,
not Perl.) It is a highly interactive GUI plotting library with many plotting
capabilities and many more on the way. In particular, it has capabilities to
export images in raster formats and postscript output is in progress. It is
still quite young and compared with professional plotting libraries it will
have many limitations. However, I would love new ideas and especially help in
implementing them!
I promised to release this some time in February, so here it is. Although I
intend to be very responsive to questions and requests, I will be particularly
busy this week as I am attending the American Physical Society's March Meeting
in Boston, so please be patient waiting for me to answer any questions you may
pose. Also, I really hope that the documentation is helpful, but I know there
are some holes. I hope that it is sufficient to help you get started. If not,
please check the examples in the source tarballs for PDL::Drawing::Prima and
PDL::Graphics::Prima.
Please download, use, and let me know what you think!
David
P. S. If you're in Boston and would like to meet up, feel free to email me. :-)
