Modern Look and Feel Changes Coming to Windows
Simply Fortran 3.30 is currently wrapping up development, and we're introducing some changes to how the development environment looks on the Windows platform. Because our development environment is written mostly in pure C and natively accesses the Windows API, the environment continues to be performant on both low-end machines while still being able to exploit modern multi-core CPUs. Additionally, our backwards compatibility with Windows releases from 20 years ago...

Writing From Fortran to an AppGraphics Window
Since AppGraphics was introduced, we received a number of queries about the possibility of writing directly to an AppGraphics window from Fortran WRITE statements. This functionality was included in older Microsoft and DEC/Compaq Fortran runtimes, and it may still even be included in another single-architecture compiler.
In the past, we've suggested the non-trivial task of replacing this code with calls to outtext and...

Embedding Plots in AppGraphics
Simply Fortran has included a simplistic plotting library for quite some time called Aplot that allows developers to quickly produce graphical representations of data in Fortran. The library has always been designed to be simple to the point of being minimalistic. Available on all platforms that we support, the library has seen significant employ by our end users.
[Simply Fortran 3.26 for...

Bringing Fortran Development to Your Browser
Simply Fortran originally started as a single-platform solution, providing a compiler and development environment for Microsoft Windows. The original purpose of selecting this platform was entirely because the solutions available were either far too costly or extremely complicated to configure. As Simply Fortran matured, we expanded our offering to GNU/Linux platforms and, later, macOS systems. We have always tried to make Fortran development simple and accessible on the most popular,...
