Adapters

Please note that AquaTerm 1.0 is not backwards compatible with clients using v0.3.2 API.

AquaTerm gains most of its functionality through adapters, small sections of code that do the actual conversion from the client calls to the AquaTerm API. Below is a list of existing adapters. You can help out by coding, testing or simply suggest new adapters.

• gnuplot [stable]
• PGPLOT [stable]
• PLplot [stable]
• C/FORTRAN [stable]
• Perl [stable]
• Python [experimental]

Gnuplot [adapter available]
