Introducing Aplot
With the release of version 2.36, Simply Fortran now includes Aplot, a library for creating simple, two-dimensional plots and charts directly from Fortran. The programming interface provided is designed to be straightforward, and the library is available on Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux. This short article will walk through creating a non-trivial plot quickly with Aplot.
For this example, we’ll attempt to plot 1000 random, uniformly distributed numbers along with a running mean as the...
