Commit 10127 adds an experimental PLplot add-on library under bindings/ocaml/plcairo/ which allows one to use the extcairo driver under OCaml.
The Plcairo library allows you to provide a Cairo context created with the Cairo OCaml bindings to PLplot for use with the extcairo driver. This supports modifications to the plot surface with Cairo directly as well as embedding extcairo plot surfaces in Gtk+ applications with the OCaml Gtk+ bindings (the lablgtk library). Three examples are included in the bindings/ocaml/plcairo/tests/ directory. These demonstrate some simple Cairo use, using multiple plot pages with the Plcairo library and embedding a PLplot-generated plot in a Gtk+ application window. I have been using a similar version of this code for a while now, and it seems to function properly. That said, the API is very likely to change as I figure out the best way to integrate it properly in to the core OCaml bindings. Plcairo is built separately from the rest of PLplot at this point and does not yet make use of the PLplot CMake build system. Tests, comments, questions and suggestions are quite welcome. A README.plcairo is included which covers the basic requirements and installation process for the Plcairo library. Thanks to Phillipe for his requests which spurred the release of this code.
