- Gnuplot (patch 2) Support for X11
- -----------------------
- 24 November 1990
-
- Installing gnuplot X11 support requires:
-
- o compilation of term.c with -DX11 included in TERMFLAGS
-
- o compilation of plot.c with -DX11
-
- o compilation of the outboard X11 terminal driver gnuplot_x11
-
- makefile.x11 (a modified version of makefile.unx) provides these additional
- functions. The X11LIBS and X11INCLUDES parameters should be set to point to
- the X11 libraries and include files on your system. Comments give settings
- for several systems. The X11FLAGS parameter should be set to "-DMOTIF" to
- compile for the Motif (libXm.a) rather than Athena (libXaw.a) widget library.
-
- The gnuplot man page describes command line options and tailorable resources
- available when gnuplot terminal types x11 or X11 are used.
-
- Sorry, as of this writing no support is available for platforms other than unix.
-
- Differences from "xgnuplot"
- ---------------------------
- This X11 support is based on the xgnuplot wrapper/terminal driver distributed
- separately from gnuplot. Differences:
-
- o Gnuplot silently invokes the outboard driver, rather than vice versa.
- Thus resource names in .Xdefaults begin with "gnuplot" rather than
- "xgnuplot".
-
- o When the window is resized, the currently displayed plot is automatically
- rescaled and replotted.
-
- o Compiles under X11 R3 as well as R4 and with either the Athena or Motif
- widget libraries.
