Visualization

Good day all

How do you perform  visulaization in Fortran such as x-y plots

[JohnNichols]

Download DISLIN - free for personal use

You can draw DXF files - which is actually quite easy and then use a DXF viewer

You can get the FORTRAN book for Australia - CVF and use the samples

You can use a GIF fie generator -- they are around somewhere

Step 1 is the fastest, Step 2 is for high quality engineering prints, Step 3 is for the average programmer who has no idea what a DXF files is and cannot down load DISLIN and the last one is for the really desparate in this world as you would be better recoding in a drawing language.

Last step as I did last week for a paper - print to a CSV file and use EXCEL

There are actually many solutions. See http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Libraries

One I would like to mention is PLplot - plplot.sf.net - but that is because I am involved in that project ;).

If you have Microsoft Office or Excel available on your computer there is a nice interface from Fortran to Excel for using the Excel graphing features. Look in the IVF samples (part of the Fortran installation package) for the solution "Autodice". The comments in the source will give you more information about using the interface to Excel and its graphing options.
