Has anyone managed to create plots with PDL using the PDL edition of Strawberry Perl 5.30.1.1 on Windows?
Yes, it is possible to create plots with the PDL (Perl Data Language) edition of Strawberry Perl on Windows. PDL provides a powerful set of tools and modules for scientific computing and data analysis in Perl.
To create plots using PDL on Windows with Strawberry Perl, you need to install additional modules that provide plotting functionality. One commonly used module is PDL::Graphics::Prima
, which allows you to create various types of plots.
Here's an example of how to install the required modules and create a simple plot using PDL and PDL::Graphics::Prima
on Windows with Strawberry Perl:
Install the required modules:
- Open a command prompt or PowerShell window.
- Run the following command to install
PDL
andPDL::Graphics::Prima
modules:arduinocpanm PDL PDL::Graphics::Prima
Create a Perl script:
- Open a text editor and create a new Perl script, e.g.,
plot_example.pl
. - Add the following code to the script:perl
use PDL;
use PDL::Graphics::Prima;
# Create data for the plot
my $x = sequence(100) / 10;
my $y = sin($x);
# Create a Prima canvas for the plot
my $canvas = Prima::MainWindow->create(
text => 'PDL Plot',
size => [400, 300],
);
# Plot the data on the canvas
$canvas->insert('Plot',
-data => [$x, $y],
plotType => pt::Lines,
);
# Start the Prima event loop
run Prima;
# Clean up
$canvas->destroy;
- Open a text editor and create a new Perl script, e.g.,
Run the script:
- Open a command prompt or PowerShell window.
- Navigate to the directory where the Perl script is located.
- Run the following command to execute the script:
perl plot_example.pl
This script creates a simple plot of the sine function using PDL
and PDL::Graphics::Prima
modules. It creates a Prima canvas, plots the data on the canvas, and starts the Prima event loop to display the plot.
Make sure you have Strawberry Perl installed correctly and have the necessary permissions to install modules and run Perl scripts on your Windows system.
