Eric - Cool module, thanks for pointing it out. It's always good to know about other modules out there for making plots, especially native LaTeX plots.

Check the MetaCPAN page for Convert::UU - https://metacpan.org/module/Convert::UU. On the left of the page it shows the number of passes, fails, and unknowns. The latest version has been around since 2008 and it has over 3000 passes and zero fails or unknowns. > My interest would be for PDL as a dependency to LaTeX-PGF-Diagram2D, but > there is no indication as to which PDL modules would be utilized by > LaTeX-PGF-Diagram2D, presuming one wants the full capabilites of > LaTeX-PGF-Diagram2D? > Chris Marshall has put a *lot* of work into making PDL install from CPAN on all major platforms, so I don't think you'll hit trouble here. The documentation says that the code uses PDL to sole linear equations. That could mean that it uses Slatec, which is not guaranteed to be on every machine. The code in LaTeX::PGF::Diagram is not pretty and it was really hard to find the PDL-specific stuff, but in my digging I only came across stock PDL stuff like zeroes and inv, which work anywhere and don't depend on Slatec. So, you should be good to go. > Do you know anyone who is familiar with LaTeX-PGF-Diagram2D? Who might be > able to clarify this matter?
