RE: Modules aiming at displaying mathematical functions on screen?

2006-09-20 Thread Lee Goddard
 After searching the cpan.org site for mathematical modules, I 
 did not find a module which can display graphically the 
 result of a function.
 I want to see a function curve displayed in a graphical window?
 
 How can I make it possible in Perl?
 Thanks in advance for your help.

Module names in quotes:

You could build a perl Tk application - it comes with an example
related to your query.

You could use GD or Imager or Image::Magick to plot pixels and
save as various graphics formats. (The latter also exports LaTex, I
believe).

You could look up the mailing list for PDL, the Perl Data Language
subset, where people who *really* know about maths hang around.

You could make a PDF using PDF::API2 but that's probably a little
trickier than most things above.

You could look under Graph on CPAN

Install PDL (perl data language). On Debian when I installed 'pdl' I got 
PDL::Graphics::PLplot which is a rather nice, perl-native way to 
generate graphs.


use strict;
use warnings;
use PDL;
use PDL::Graphics::PLplot;

my $pl = PDL::Graphics::PLplot-new (DEV = pbm, FILE = test.pbm);
my $x  = sequence(10);
my $y  = $x**2;
$pl-xyplot($x, $y);
$pl-close;



test.pbm.gz

Beyond that:

  http://symaxx.sourceforge.net/ (Perl)

(from a recent integrate() thread on clpm).
