That error was using the PDL:PGPLOT If I only try to use PGPLOT it gives the error %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /xserve %PGPLOT, PGENV: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGBBUF: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGEBUF: selected graphics device is not open %PGPLOT, PGPT: selected graphics device is not open I have set all the enviroment path and other variables... ================================= Xserve is the default device - grwnd.exe in this case, I think. That being so, you'll need grwnd.exe in your path. However, while it generally works ok for a one-off display, it can be rather buggy if you want to display more than one graph, or run more than one instance of grwnd.exe. For that reason, I always specify /PNG as the device: set PGPLOT_DEVICE=/PNG set DISPLAY=1 set PGPLOT_FONT=C:\_32\pgplot\bin\grfont.dat >From memory, DISPLAY is used by t/pgplot.t from the PDL source. (I don't recall whether it is used elsewhere). And PGPLOT_FONT needs to specify the location (and name) of grfont.dat. If you have the PDL source, try cd'ing to the top level folder of the source and run: perl t/pgplot.t For me, that produces: -------------------------------------- C:\_32\comp\PDL>perl t/pgplot.t 1..12 ok 1 ok 2 ok 3 ok 4 ok 5 ok 6 # skip interactive tests not run since environment var PDL_INT not set ok 7 ok 8 ok 9 ok 10 ok 11 # skip interactive tests not run since environment var PDL_INT not set PGPLOT /png: writing new file as pgplot.png_2 ok 12 -------------------------------------- and 2 png files (pgplot.png and pgplot.png_2) are created in the cwd. (I think the interactive tests require /xserve - and grwnd.exe is too buggy to enable them to work.) If there are still problems, it might be a good idea to first download the PGPLOT source, cd to the top level source folder and run (still with the PGPLOT_DEVICE set to /PNG): perl test.pl That should create 12 graphs (as separate png files) and also produce the following output to the console: -------------------------------------- ============== Running test1.p ============== Testing simple point plot...

That's about as good as it gets on native Windows - for the moment, anyway. The potential to improve on the graphics capabilities certainly exists, but no-one has yet done the work afaik. TriD should be do-able. The stumbling block for me has been how to get opengl set up on windows (though I know some have done it). Once opengl has been set up, building PDL with TriD would (hopefully) be straightforward. Sina, if you know what's involved in getting opengl up and running on windows, and like to share the knowledge, I'll see what can be done (wrt PDL and TriD). I don't use Cygwin, but I believe the PDL graphics capabilities are somewhat better on it (if you want to go down that path).
