Plot module for fortran so that plotting can be done in real time (on the fly)

Linux and Windows installation

Local compilation and run

gcc -c cgprint.c                            # Creates cgprint.o
gfortran -c fortplot.f90                    # Creates fortplot.o
gfortran -c example.f90                     # Creates example.o
gfortran cgprint.o fortplot.o example.o     # Creates a.out (on linux) and a.exe (on windows)
./a.out                                     # On linux
a.exe                                       # On windows 

Global compilation for installation

gcc -c cgprint.c            # Creates cgprint.o
gfortran -c fortplot.f90    # Creates fortplot.o

Create the library

ar qc libfp.a fortplot.o cgprint.o  # Creates libfp.a

Move the *.a to standard directory

sudo mv libfp.a /usr/lib/   # On linux
move libfp.a C:\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\8.2.0\         # With mingw installation
move libfp.a C:\Strawberry\c\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.9.2     # With strawberry gcc installation 

Run the command to get the version

gcc -v 

For example it might be 7.5.0. So

gcc_version="7.5.0"

Copy the mod files to finclude folder

sudo mv fortplot.mod /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/${gcc_version}/finclude/  # On linux
move fortplot.mod C:\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\8.2.0\finclude       # With mingw installation 
move fortplot.mod C:\Strawberry\c\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.9.2\finclude  # With strawberry gcc installation 

Compile one of the example files

gfortran example.f90 -lfp 

To run

./a.out     # On linux
a.exe       # On windows
