Re: [MacPerl] Graphics generation

["Roberto Abraham at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge"<abraham@ast.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi Matthias,

Where can I learn more about GD.pm? Will it let me generate publication
quality graphics using MacPerl? On UNIX machines I've been using something
pretty wonderful called PGPerl which is a perl module that lets you call
PGPlot from within Perl. This gives beautiful results, but I don't think
its been ported to Macs yet.

Best wishes,

Bob Abraham
