The Perl, -Python, Tcl, Java, Ruby etc. directories contain various examples specific to -those languages. - -This library was originally developed as part of the SPaSM molecular -dynamics project at Los Alamos National Laboratory. However, due to -patent enforcement issues related to LZW encoding and a general lack -of time on the part of the author, the library was never officially -released. On the plus side, a number of people have found it to be a -useful easter egg within the SWIG distribution :-). - -<LEGAL> -DUE TO PATENT RESTRICTIONS ON THE LZW COMPRESSION ALGORITHM, THIS -LIBRARY ONLY PRODUCES UNCOMPRESSED GIF FILES. SO THERE. -</LEGAL> - -Building the Library -==================== - -In order to run the examples, it is first necessary to build the GIFPlot -C library. To do this, simply run make: - - make - -Running the Examples -==================== - -Once the library has been built, go to your chosen language directory, -that is, Perl, Python, Tcl, Java, Ruby etc. Each example should have a -README file with a description. - -Each example can be compiled using the makefile in each example directory. This -makefile uses the top level makefile in the "Examples" directory of the distribution. -If the example doesn't compile, you will need to adjust the settings in this file. - -Documentation -============= - -Read the source Luke. The examples should be pretty much self-explanatory. -The header file Include/gifplot.h contains the full API. - -The original documentation for the library can be found online at: - - http://www.dabeaz.com/gifplot/index.html - - -Let me know what you think! -=========================== -If you found this example to be useful, confusing, or otherwise, I would like to know -about it. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. - --- Dave (dave@dabeaz.com) - - |
