For installation instructions see the file +BUILDING. + + +LOADING PGPERL +-------------- + +Since perl5 supports dynamic loading it is no longer necessary to make +a special version of the perl binary which has been linked with PGPLOT. +One just uses the normal perl5 binary and the statement: + +use PGPLOT; # Load PGPLOT module (perl5) + +will load in the PGPLOT module which contains all the C/perl necessary for +pgperl (assuming pgperl has been installed in the correct place). + +This replaces the older perl4 statement: + +require 'pgplot.pl'; # Obsolete - perl4 only + +This will still work though - it aliases to the new command - so all old +pgperl scripts should work unchanged with perl5, subject to the areas where +perl5 itself has a behaviour slightly different from perl4. These are rare +though and are changes for the better. + + +IMPROVEMENTS IN CALLING SYNTAX +------------------------------ + +In the old pgperl pgplot routines were called thus: + +&pgdraw($x, $y); + +In the new perl5 version the "&" is no longer necessary and one +can say: + +pgdraw($x, $y); + +Moreover all functions can now be used as list operators and so one +can even say: + +pgdraw $x, $y ; + +(Beware operator precedence though! - see perlop(1)) + + +IMPROVEMENTS IN ARRAY PASSING +----------------------------- + +In the old pgperl the only way to pass an array was to use the "*" +notation ("*x" passes a "glob reference" to all variables named "x"), +e.g.: + +&pgpoint($n, *x, *y, $symbol); # Still works + +This continues to work. However one can also pass new-style references +to individual arrays, e.g.: + +pgpoint($n, \@x, \@y, 17); # Direct reference + +or using variables to hold references: + +$xref = \@x; $yref = \@y; +pgpoint($n, $xref, $yref, 17); + +or even: + +pgpoint 3, [1,2,3], [4,5,6], 17; # Anonymous references + +See perlref(1) for all the grubby details on references in perl5. + + +SCALARS INSTEAD OF ARRAYS +------------------------- + +Because of the extra magic now built into pgperl it is possible to +use scalar variables with array routines, e.g.: + +$x=2; $y=4; +pgpoint(1, $x, $y, 17); # Plot a single point + + +This was not possible in perl4 which resulted in the creation of special +routines to deal with scalars, e.g. pgpoint1($x,$y,$sym). These old names +will still work, for easy backwards compatability, but they are no longer +necessary. + + +TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS +---------------------- + +perl5 now supports multi-dimensional arrays by means of the reference +syntax. (In fact it supports N-dimensional mixtures of normal arrays +and associative arrays but let's not go into that - see perlref(1)). + +In the old pgperl 2D arrays had to be passed to pgplot as one-D arrays, +e.g.: + +pggray(*img, $nx, $ny, 1, $nx, 1,$ny, $max, $min ,*tr); # @img is 1D + +This still works but is also now possible to pass a reference to a +2D array, e.g.: + +for($i=0; $i<128; $i++) { for($j=0; $j<128; $j++) { # Set up 128x128 image + $$img[$i][$j] = sqrt($i*$j) / 128; +}} +pggray($img,128,128,1,128,1,128,1,0,*tr); # Plot image + +The type of the array is automatically sensed - but make sure the array +is square and all the elements are defined! + + +Finally there exists a mechanism for efficient memory handling of large +images. They can be stored as byte-arrays in scalar variables and are +automgically sensed and passed onwards to the PGPLOT routines with no +conversion, e.g.: + +open(IMG,"test.img"); # Read in 128x128 image stored in file as binary +read(IMG, $img, 4*128*128); # data, i.e. list of 4 byte float [C type] /REAL*4 +close(IMG); # [f77 type] values, and store as perl string. +pggray($img,128,128,1,128,1,128,1,0,*tr); # Plot + +Obviously it is not possible to do any operations on such objects with perl +functions unless they are first converted to normal perl arrays (e.g. with +@image = unpack("f*",$img);) but this is useful for efficient passing around +of large images and one might imagine using library routines to read data +from files and return these structures. (Note: by "large" I mean >=1024x1024 +- for the 128x128 example it makes negligible difference.) + + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +All these features are demonstrated in the new test script called +testpgperl10.pg (which only works with perl5). + +perl5 also has trendy object-oriented features - an example of +using this with PGPLOT is shown in testpgperl11.pg for the sake of +amusement. + + +Karl Glazebrook, +--- +kgb@ast.cam.ac.uk Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, U.K. +pgperl software: http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~kgb/pgperl.html + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Last Modified. 18/May/1995. diff --git a/graphics/p5-PGPLOT/pkg-plist b/graphics/p5-PGPLOT/pkg-plist new file mode 100644 index 0000000..092fe79 --- /dev/null +++ b/graphics/p5-PGPLOT/pkg-plist @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +lib/perl5/site_perl/PGPLOT.pm +lib/perl5/site_perl/pgplot.pl +lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-freebsd/auto/PGPLOT/PGPLOT.so +lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-freebsd/auto/PGPLOT/PGPLOT.bs +lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-freebsd/auto/PGPLOT/.packlist +share/pgperl/LICENSE +share/pgperl/pgperl.doc +share/pgperl/testpgperl0.dat +share/pgperl/testpgperl0.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl1.cuv +share/pgperl/testpgperl1.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl10.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl11.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl2.dat +share/pgperl/testpgperl2.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl3.img +share/pgperl/testpgperl3.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl4.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl5.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl6.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl7.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl8.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperl9.pg +share/pgperl/testpgperlall.csh diff --git a/graphics/pgperl/Makefile b/graphics/pgperl/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9cd7cf8 --- /dev/null +++ b/graphics/pgperl/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +# New ports collection makefile for: pgperl +# Version required: 1.0 +# Date created: 22 December 1996 +# Whom: jmz +# +# $Id$ +# + +DISTNAME= PGPLOT1.0b_src +EXTRACT_SUFX= .tar.Z +PKGNAME= pgperl-1.0 +CATEGORIES= graphics +MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.ast.cam.ac.uk/pgperl/perl5/ + +WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/PGPLOT +ALL_TARGET= dynamic + +MAINTAINER= jmz@FreeBSD.org + +BUILD_DEPENDS= perl5.003 +LIB_DEPENDS= pgplot\\.5\\. +RUN_DEPENDS= perl5.003 + +post-install: + @mkdir -p ${PREFIX}/share/pgperl + @(cd ${WRKSRC}; cp LICENSE pgperl.doc testpg* ${PREFIX}/share/pgperl) + +.include <bsd.port.mk> diff --git a/graphics/pgperl/distinfo b/graphics/pgperl/distinfo new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5a09dd0 --- /dev/null +++ b/graphics/pgperl/distinfo @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +MD5 (PGPLOT1.0b_src.tar.Z) = 37d8da4613520fb0594d7fee57504d17 diff --git a/graphics/pgperl/pkg-comment b/graphics/pgperl/pkg-comment new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1baa686 --- /dev/null +++ b/graphics/pgperl/pkg-comment @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A perl5 extension which makes available the pgplot library. diff --git a/graphics/pgperl/pkg-descr b/graphics/pgperl/pkg-descr new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6ee3207 --- /dev/null +++ b/graphics/pgperl/pkg-descr @@ -0,0 +1,218 @@ +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + PGPERL - A GRAPHICS EXTENSION FOR PERL. + ------ - A MACRO LANGUAGE FOR PGPLOT. + +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + +INTRODUCTION +------------ + +'pgperl' is a version of the Perl language which has available +the PGPLOT FORTRAN library, a very popular package for plotting +astronomical data.
