OK, lets see...
[the following assumes a fink-installed pgplot]
PGPLOT is a library of FORTRAN (libpgplot) routines that you can call
from your code to bring up graphs of your data, i.e. pgplot is not a
program in itself. There is also a C wrapper library called libcpgplot.
That said, this is probably the simplest c-program that does something
useful (in a file named 'caqtdemo.c'):
// ----- begin caqtdemo.c ---
#include "cpgplot.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
if (cpgopen("1/AQT"))
{
cpgpage();
cpgsvp(0.1, 0.9, 0.1, 0.9);
cpgswin(0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0);
cpgbox("BCGNTS",0.1,5,"BCGNTS",0.1,5);
cpglab("x-label","y-label","title");
cpgclos();
}
else
{
printf("Could not open AQT, exiting\n");
}
return 0;
}
// ----- end caqtdemo.c ---
to compile it, use (on a singe line of input)
cc -g -I/sw/lib/pgplot -L/sw/lib -L/sw/lib/pgplot -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o
caqtdemo caqtdemo.c -lcpgplot -lpgplot -lpng -lX11 -lg2c -framework Cocoa
then issue ./caqtdemo to run it

also, look around in the source directory (especially in cpg/ for C
info). Type gnutar xvzf /sw/src/pgplot5.2.tar.gz to unpack the sources
if you haven't done it already.
