Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Hi Ed OK I will start there, your help would be most welcome. Last time I tried Giza was two years ago, it worked OK for most simple pgplot things but most of the tests in my perl5-PGPLOT module failed! Mainly because I wrote those tests (back in the last millennium) to test edge cases to ensur

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Here's an alternative (more general issue of PGPLOT support, not necessarily to solve the Ubuntu/Debian problem). There's an autotooled version of PGPLOT here: https://github.com/djerius/pgplot-autotool 1. Create an Alien::PGPLOT module 2. Make the CPAN PGPLOT package depend on that, 3. Move P

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

As far as I can tell, latest Debian/Ubuntu still has “real” PGPLOT in the “pgplot5” package, so there’s no thought of “unofficial”. However, the current Ubuntu libpgplot-perl does depend on libpgplot0, the Giza replacement, so you might want to update that to still depend on “pgplot5” to make i

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Hi Diab, Making an Alien::PGPLOT package sounds like a good solution to the problem of keeping “real” PGPLOT going (see my other message for my thoughts on whether that’s a good idea). If you go for this, please take a look at Alien::Build which is a superb library for making it incredibly easy

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Ed, I've fumbled my way through a couple of Alien::Build related modules, so that's the approach I was considering. There's a lot of old code which uses PGPLOT, so unfortunately that'll have to be a continuing thing.  I just revived some 20 year old code that uses PGPLOT. My applications i

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Hi Diab, Great to hear. You’re saying that Gnuplot can’t plot single pixels and/or do so fast? If you’re able to share some code (and I’m assuming relevant data), I’d love to take a look to compare! Best regards, Ed From: Diab Jerius Sent: 16 August 2021 19:06 T

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Hi all, Yes I can confirm that ‘pgplot5’ is real - I just checked it by building a fortran pgplot program in ubuntu. Thanks Ed, I missed that. Regarding the perl package, I suppose one could make two debs one which depended on pgplot5 (real) and one which depended on libpgplot0 (giza) and give

Re: [Pdl-devel] Ubuntu/debian PDL packages & pgplot

Hi Karl, I would expect the Debian folks don’t want any libraries in there, pure-Perl or otherwise, that don’t work, and P:G:PGPLOT won’t without PGPLOT, which it seems they don’t want there. As I tried to indicate before: I know as much as you do about how to make Debian etc packages. That wa
