Installation
The pltmg_source directory contains the following files:
1. mg0.f module that sets precision
2. pltmg.f most source code
3. mgmpi.f MPI interface
4. mgvio.f SG interface
5. xgui.c X-Windows interface
6. mgxdr.c XDR interface
7. atest.f main driver program
8. battery.f, burger.f circle.f,
control.f, domains.f, ident.f,
jcn.f, message.f, mnsurf.f, sample test problem data sets
naca.f, ob.f, square.f, usmap.f
9. xgui_stubs.c, (mostly) empty routines
mgvio_stubs.f, mgmpi_stubs.f
Makefile_ubuntu an example makefile for Linux
Makefile_osx an example makefile for Apple OS X
Your environment must include Fortran and C compilers as well as X-Windows,
MPI, and SG. The X-Windows GUI is based on the Motif widget set and X11R6.
SG (socket graphics) is an OpenGL display tool written by Michael Holst;
t is available at http://ccom.ucsd.edu/~mholst/
You can set the precision in the module mthdef in the file mg0.f. This
module is machine dependent, but should work as provided in most
environments. Set the floating point arithmetic to single or
All calls to X-Windows routines are made by routines in the file xgui.c.
xgui_stubs.c can be used in place of xgui.c. (e.g. set X11_INTERFACE to
xgui_stubs in the Makefile). In this case, X-Windows libraries are not
needed to resolve external references, but the X-Windows interface is disabled.
Similarly, if SG is not available or not desired, one can use the file
mgvio_stubs.f in place of mgvio.f. Then the maloc library is not needed
to resolve external references, and the SG and bh file graphics interfaces
are disabled. Finally, if MPI is not available or not desired, use
mgmpi_stubs.f in place of mgmpi.f. This removes the need to load the
mpi library to resolve external references, and the parallel processing
capabilities of PLTMG are disabled.
To make an executable, you must compile mg0.f, pltmg.f, mgmpi.f, mgvio.f,
mgxdr.c, xgui.c, atest.f, and your test problem data set, and link the
the maloc library (SG) and the mpi library (MPI). A generic Makefile
s provided (along with sample Makefiles for Linux and OSX). To use the
Makefile, specify paths for the indicated include files and libraries, and

SG Interface
To use the SG (OpenGL) interface in PLTMG, first start up one or more
(up to 4) SG display tools. Click on the button marked `socket' and choose
associated with a unique socket number. Choose the corresponding socket
number for graphics output (PLTMG parameters FDEVCE, GDEVCE, JDEVCE).
