gfortran graphics please

[Paul Richard Thomas]

Thanks for the succinct reply, Nick!

Personally, I use Dislin for graphing and elementary GUIs with
gfortran - http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/

I have tested others, such as plplot, pgplot and f90gl, and found that
they could be used without difficulty.  Using gfortran with Matlab was
straightforward, although I have not been in a position to try for
some while.  I keep meaning to go back to octave to make sure that the
interface still works OK.... when I have a moment.

Cheers

Paul
