This repository is a module used to call gnuplot directly from within C++
source code. This project is beginning with only a rudimentary set of
function calls but I hope to expand upon them with time and eventually have
a fully functioning library of C++ wrapper calls to gnuplot. Please feel
free to use, distribute and contribute!
===============================================================================
Build as a static library
===============================================================================
To compile these functions as a static library which you can then link to
any C++ project, execute the following bash commands from within the source
code directory:
g++ -c -o gplotwrappers.o gnuplot.cpp
ar -cvq libgplot.a gplotwrappers.o
That's all there is to it! You should now be ready to include and link the
library in any C++ source code you wish.
===============================================================================
Link to your project
===============================================================================
To link to the static library libgplot which you created above, you simply
need to do the following two things:
1) Include the library's header file in each source file which will use the
function calls:
#include "gnuplot.h"
2) To compile source files which use the library, include the path to the
library in your makefile for each of the source files which use the library:
-I"/{path to the directory}/gnuplot-c-wrappers"
3) To link source files which use the library, include the linker flag
"-lgplot" along with the path to the library in your makefile:
-L"/{path to the directory}/gnuplot-c-wrappers"
wbinventor/gnuplot-c-wrappers
