Hi, Monks -

I remember that many, many years ago I had lots of fun plotting graphs and fractals on my computer screen in what otherwise was a rather limited dialect of BASIC. Now, years later, I am wondering if there is a suitable module to do just that in Perl. Basically, I would like to have functions like plot, draw and fill at hand to draw various elements on my screen programmatically, maybe in different colours, too.

Can anybody please suggest suitable modules to do that?

Thanks in advance and regards -

Pat

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
