Using FORTRAN to make pictures!

[vmagnin]

@Earl

Do others use FORTRAN to make pictures and which FORTRAN do they use and which graphics program do they use to draw to the screen? I used Compaq-Digital FORTRAN and Absoft grapics package. I would like to update.

I have myself used a lot Digital / Compaq Visual Fortran to draw scientific results (propagation of light in waveguides), then started working on the gtk-fortran library. Many people here use various graphical libraries to draw or plot. See those two lists:

• Libraries for plotting data, handling images and generating user interfaces — Fortran Programming Language
• GitHub - Beliavsky/Fortran-code-on-GitHub: Directory of Fortran codes on GitHub, arranged by topic

And several of us develop and maintain their own graphical libraries. For example, two days ago @Ali posted this:

ForCAD - A Fortran library for Geometric Modeling

ForCAD now supports knot removal, embedding meshes into NURBS, retrieving IGA element connectivity, and includes some predefined NURBS shapes such as circle, half circle, tetragon, hexahedron, 2D ring, half 2D ring, 3D ring, half 3D ring. It also includes rotatation and translation of geometry and control geometry, along with visualization using PyVista. Below is an example of embedding meshes into a NURBS volume and visualizing it using PyVista. [image] A logo has also been designed using Fo…

I am an amateur of graphism, and have played especially with Peter Saville’s work:
