If you want PS directly, then you might want to use the psc PLplot device driver (no extra external prerequisites, but the hinted Type 1 fonts that this device driver uses have rather limited glyph selection), psttfc device driver (liblasi, pango and cairo prerequisites using TrueType fonts with normally extensive glyphs available, but liblasi does not allow hinting to be done), or pscairo (pango and cairo prerequisites using TrueType fonts with hinting). If you want PDF directly, then use pdfcairo (same prerequisites and font selection as pscairo). > > Is there a five or less steps setup process for this? Follow the directions in http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ to build PLplot. For the initial configuration stage using the cmake command, and look carefully at the output for any warnings about missing dependencies that affect (a) the aquaterm device driver, (b) the psttf device driver, or (c) the cairo device driver. Install the needed development versions of those external libraries and interate using the cmake command (starting with an empty build directory each time) until all warnings about devices you care about are gone. Then proceed with the "make", (optional) "ctest", and "make install" steps. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
