The GPLOT library is a plotting library that can be used to plot variables from inside any fortran program. This subroutine is not intended to replace other graphics packages, or plotx, but to rather allow the user to look at arrays of data in the middle of fortran codes. It might be useful for debugging.
The program XYPLOT is also not intended to replace plotxy, but to work as a user-friendly interactive program, in which plots of data files can be created from the command line. It is interactive in the sense that the user can input some parameters and the program can interpret the parameters given and create a plot of the desired data file.

How do I compile the Library?
The first thing you need to do, is of course download the source code (below) and have a F90 compiler (the free compiler G95 does not work with this code) available.
Download, unzip and untar the file into a given directory, which we will call ~/plot/
Edit the Makefile to accomodate your F90 compiler and its options. The library successfully compiles under the Absoft F90 compiler, the Sun compiler, and the G95 compiler. You compile by simply typing make.
Some test programs are available at ~/plot/test. To compile those again edit the Makefile in the directory. Pay attention to the module options, which change for different compilers. Read the documentation.
The program XYPLOT can be found in ~/plot/program/ and can be compiled by running the Makefile. Editing the Makefile might be necessary, read the documentation.
