pgplot for DEBIAN
----------------------

As of version 5.2.1, pgplot has support for PNG format output. The
debian package has been compiled with support for PNG output turned
on by default. Compilation of programs using the pgplot library should
be linked with "-lpng -lz" in addition to the normal linking with
-lpgplot -lX11.

To compile the fortran examples in the examples subdirectory, do the
following: 
g77 -fno-backslash foo.f -o foo -lpgplot -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lpng -lz -lm 

The -fno-backslash specifies that `\' is not to be specially interpreted
in character and Hollerith constants, which are often used in pgplot
labels. 

To compile the C example in the examples subdirectory, do the
following:
gcc -c cpgdemo.c
g77 cpgdemo.o -o cpgdemo -lcpgplot -lpgplot -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lpng -lz -lm

If you want to use this package to compile programs based on the
pgplot library, you will also need to install the following debian
packages - g77, libpng2-dev, zlib1g-dev, libc6-dev, and
xlibs-dev. These are already listed in the package Suggests field, but
in case you missed it, please make sure you install these packages to
develop with pgplot.

This is the pgplot graphics subroutine library, packaged for Debian.
The fortran and c versions of the routines are available.  Try 
'man pgplot' for more information.
