Sure - right after I send that out I find the answer - from CPAN http://search.cpan.org/~chm/PDL-2.4.4/Graphics/PGPLOT/PGPLOTOptions.pm <http://search.cpan.org/~chm/PDL-2.4.4/Graphics/PGPLOT/PGPLOTOptions.pm> The environment variable has to be set to : PGPLOT_DEV =/CGW or /PNG Sorry for the clutter.

________________________________ From: Sobchuk, Cliff (WIC:W788) Sent: April 9, 2009 2:27 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: PDL::PGPlot on WinXp Hi Folks, I am trying to use the PGPlot.pm (win32 for perl 5.10) from the Winnipeg repository on ASPerl 5.10 Build 1004 for PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT. I am not sure if I have all of the requirements or not. I do have the grwnd.exe and grfont.dat files in my perl directory and I have set the environment variables for them as per a thread on PDL::TriD between Sina Türeli and Sisyphus from 08 Jul 2008: set PGPLOT_DEVICE=/PNG set DISPLAY=1 set PGPLOT_FONT=C:\perl\bin\grfont.dat But when I try to use imag I always get the following error and I have to ctrl-c to get out of it as it won't accept any of the inputs (from /GW to /PNG). code snippet: perldl> imag (sin(rvals(200,200)+1)) Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /PNG %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /PNG Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /GW %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /GW Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): ? PGPLOT v5.2.2 Copyright 1997 California Institute of Technology Interactive devices: /GW (grwnd.exe on Win32) /CGW (grwnd.exe on Win32; colors compatible with /CPS) Non-interactive file formats: /GIF (Graphics Interchange Format file, landscape orientation) /VGIF (Graphics Interchange Format file, portrait orientation) /NULL (Null device, no output) /PNG (Portable Network Graphics file) /TPNG (Portable Network Graphics file - transparent background) /PS (PostScript file, landscape orientation) /VPS (PostScript file, portrait orientation) /CPS (Colour PostScript file, landscape orientation) /VCPS (Colour PostScript file, portrait orientation) Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /NULL %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /NULL Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): The only way I can get out of the loop is to hit ctrl-c. I can start grwnd up from a cmd prompt, so I know that it is in the path. Is there something else that I need to install or is this a bug? Do I need to install PGPLOT as well? I was reading the site http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/make.html <http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/make.html> regarding "How to build GrWin/PGPLOT executables", but in my understanding of that page and the reference page http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/ <http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/> "GW driver for PGPLOT (Rel. 1.5.0)" if I have grwnd.exe I have all that I need. Do I need to install something else or am I missing some configuration?
