------------------------------------------------------------- gnuplot_povrml-0.3.patch patch to add povray and vrml terminals to gnuplot 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------- This patch file will add new two terminals * povray terminal supporting POV-Ray scenes * vrml terminal supporting VRML scenes to gnuplot 4.0. To apply this patch, at the top directory of gnuplot 4.0 source tree, put the patch file and execute the commands like $ patch -p1 < gnuplot_povrml-0.3.patch $ ./configure $ make and of course 'make install' if you wish. To see the examples of how to use these two terminals, browse http://t-kita.net/gnuplot_povrml/ . Current version of terminals added by this patch is 0.3. There seem to be a lot of bugs, shortcomings. Particularly, VRML terminal is not very well tested so far. In povray terminal, plotting with points (spheres), lines (cylinders), linespoints and polygons (triangle) is possible. It is tested with POV-Ray 3.1g and 3.6. # The POV-Ray version is specified as 3.5 in the generated scene file, # but it is currently possible to use theses versions of POV-Ray to # render the images. In vrml terminal, plotting with points (spheres), lines (cylinders) and linespoints is possbile (polygons are not yet available). Both terminals have no options in the current version. Copyright of this patch is public domain, i.e. you can freely modify and redistribute the patch. We wish to continue revising povray and vrml terminals as long as we or some users are interested in using the terminals.
