plplot-5.0.4-1 RPM for i386

From SourceForge / p / pl / plplot

This is the distribution for PLplot, a scientific plotting package. PLplot
is relatively small, portable, freely distributable, and is rich enough to
satisfy most users.  It has a wide range of plot types including line
(linear, log), contour, 3D, fill, and almost 1000 characters (including
Greek and mathematical) in its extended font set.  The package is designed
to make it easy to quickly get graphical output; only a handful of function
calls is typically required.  For more advanced use, virtually all aspects
of plotting are configurable.

Notes on the plplot configuration underlying this package for the
RH 6.2 build environment:

(i) We use --with-double=yes to give double precision.

(ii) A large number of drivers are configured by default including tk, png
and jpeg, and we also explicitly configure --enable-gnome to include the
gnome driver. But on RH 6.2, libtcl, libgd, and libgtk+ are too old so these
mentioned drivers are automatically eliminated from the drivers list by the
configure script.  On RH 7.x it will be a different story.

(iii) We explicitly configure --enable-octave, but octave is not supported
on RedHat 6.2 (7.x may be different, we don't know) so the configure script
automatically disables it.

(iv) On RedHat 6.2 (but not 7.x) tcl is too old for PLplot to support it so
the configuration automatically disables it.

Note that when crippled/ancient RH 6.2 is replaced by a more modern
distribution for the build there are going to be lots of additional
dependency issues to deal with.  You have been warned.
