The Examples

An important part of the Ada bindings is the examples, some 33 of which demonstrate how to use many of the features of the PLplot package. These examples also serve as a test bed for the bindings in Ada and other languages by checking the Postscript files that are generated by each example against those generated by the C versions. These examples have been completely re-written in Ada (but retain a C flavor in the names that are given to objects). All of the Ada examples generate exactly the same Postscript as the C versions, Examples 14 and 17 excepted since those operate interactively and don't (normally) make Postscript. Two versions of each example are available, one calling the standard binding and the other the traditional binding. (In development, a sed script does almost all of the conversion automatically.)
