Winston: 2D Plotting for Julia

using Winston

x = [-pi:0.2:pi]
y = sin(x)

p = FramedPlot()
add(p, Curve(x, y))

Winston.display(p)      # Display the plot on-screen
file(p, "winston.eps")  # Save the plot to a file

Installation

Step 1: install dependencies

Winston requires cairo, pango, & tk to be installed. The package build scripts for the Cairo and Tk packages will attempt to install these for you, but there are some pre-requisites depending on whether you choose to build from source or to use a package manager.

OS X (MacPorts):

$ sudo port install cairo +x11
$ sudo port install pango +x11
$ sudo port install tk +x11
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

OS X (Homebrew):

$ brew tap homebrew/dupes

Ubuntu:

$ aptitude install libcairo2 libpango1.0-0 tk-dev

If you wish to install from source, skip the above steps.

Step 2: install package

julia> Pkg.add("Winston")

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Winston, you may need to run these build scripts:

julia> Pkg.runbuildscript("Tk")
julia> Pkg.runbuildscript("Cairo")
