Giza 2.0

Giza is a lightweight 2D scientific plotting library built on cairo. Provides uniform output to pdf, ps, png and X-Windows. Written in C with no dependencies (other than cairo) as a lightweight replacement for PGPLOT.

Features

- 2D plotting library

- Output to png, ps, pdf and X-window

- Interactivity via cursor calls (similar to PGCURS, PGBAND)

- Designed as a lightweight replacement for PGPLOT

- Minimal dependencies: depends only on very standard system libraries (cairo, png, X11)

- Written in standard C with a Fortran 90/95/2003 interface

- Compiles as a standalone library or can be incorporated into other codes

- Interface routines handle both float and double precision input

- Easily called from Fortran/C/C code

- Initially written as a new backend for SPLASH: A visualisation tool for SPH data

- ... the basics are working, but still a bit rough around the edges ...
