Oplot

Mathematical plotting library for ocaml

2D plot and LaTeX	3D surface

2D plots
- function y = f(x)
- parametric curves
- can use mathematical functions from other libraries like gsl
- can use LaTeX to display text and formulas
- animations
- Matrix or grid display
- ...
3D plots
- parametric surfaces
- 3D graphs z = f(x,y)
- interactive 3D rotation and zoom
- ...
Many renderers
- GPU graphics (opengl/sdl)
- Graphics package
- high quality vector graphics in EPS or PDF files
- xfig files
- image screenshots

Examples and API documentation.

GUI

An official standalone GUI for oplot: goplot

Examples

The top directory contains examples that can be run from the ocaml toplevel. See the README file.

Install v 0.80

The current version does not require lablgl, but instead you should install tgls and gl-legacy:

opam install tgls
opam pin https://github.com/sanette/gl-legacy.git
opam pin https://github.com/sanette/oplot.git

Install v 0.72

oplot<0.80 requires lablgl. If you have any trouble with this, try this one.:

opam pin add https://github.com/sanette/lablgl-lib.git
opam install lablgl.1.07-lib
opam install oplot.0.72

Requirements

For PDF output you need to install the fig2dev system package.
For LaTeX display you need a working LaTeX installation; for instance install the texlive system package.
For using the Gnu Scientific Library, install the gsl opam package:

opam install gsl

For rendering via the OCaml Graphics library (currently not recommended), you need to use the oplot-graphics opam package.
