This file contains instructions for building the X11 version of xgraph.
|
|
When unpacked, the source is distributed in three directories:
|
|
|
|
xgraph-11 Source for the program
|
|
xgraph-11/bitmaps Bitmaps used for cursors and markers
|
|
xgraph-11/examples Sample data for trying out the program
|
|
|
|
First, you should examine the file hard_devices.c. This file lists
|
|
the default hardcopy parameters for each hardcopy output device. Some
|
|
of these defaults are site-specific and should be taylored to your
|
|
site. For example, at our site, the default HPGL plotter is called
|
|
"paper" and the default Postscript printer is called "lps40". You can
|
|
change these names in this file. See hard_devices.h for a description
|
|
of the initialization fields.
|
|
|
|
If you do not like the default values for xgraph options, you can
|
|
change these by editing the default values as listed on the third page
|
|
in xgraph.c. Remember that changing these values changes the default
|
|
behaviour for everyone running the program. Personal preference
|
|
should be left for specification in the user's Xresources or Xdefaults
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
An Imakefile is provided for compiling the program in an X11 release 3
|
|
source tree. If you have such a source tree, type the following in
|
|
the xgraph-11 directory:
|
|
|
|
% make TOP=<source-tree-top>
|
|
|
|
where <source-tree-top> is the top level directory of the X11 release
|
|
3 source tree. If you don't have an X11 source tree but you have all
|
|
of the X libraries and include files installed in "standard
|
|
locations", type the following the in the xgraph-11 directory:
|
|
|
|
% make -f Makefile.std
|
|
|
|
Either of these commands will produce an executable xgraph in the
|
|
xgraph-11 directory. If you are installing the program in an X11
|
|
source tree, you can use the following to install the program and
|
|
manual page in the proper locations:
|
|
|
|
% make TOP=<source-tree-top> install
|
|
% make TOP=<source-tree-top> install.man
|
|
|
|
You might want to try these commands with the "-n" option once to make
|
|
sure the program and manual page are installed in the proper
|
|
directories. If they aren't, you may want to change the DESTDIR
|
|
variable and try again. If you really need to change the Makefile
|
|
options, you can generate a new Makefile from the Imakefile using
|
|
imake as provided on the X11 release tape.
|
|
|
|
Several example data sets are provided in the xgraph-11/examples
|
|
directory. Try the following to check out xgraph:
|
|
|
|
% xgraph examples/xgtest.xg
|
|
|
|
This should produce a graph with a series of parabolic curves.
|
|
|
|
