ANN: PLplot plotting library with Ada bindings

[Jerry <lanceboyle@qwest.net>]

PLplot 5.9.10 has just been released. PLplot is an extensive plotting library with Ada bindings.

http://plplot.sourceforge.net/

In addition to the bindings, the Ada component adds substantial ease-of-use functionality that eliminates the need to learn and code a lot of set-up routines. These easy-to-use routines will work for most day-to-day plotting. For example, to make an x-y plot:


with
   PLplot;
use
   PLplot;
procedure Simple_Example is
   x, y : Real_Vector(-10 .. 10);
begin
   for i in x'range loop 
      x(i) := Long_Float(i);
      y(i) := x(i)**2;
   end loop;
   Initialize_PLplot; -- Call this only once.
   Simple_Plot(x, y); -- Make the plot.
   -- Make more plots here.
   End_PLplot;        -- Call this only once.
end Simple_Example;
