One very useful script to create a Postscript file for upto 12 eps
files, for the sake of easy printing and easy comparisons:
1) Right click the mouse and save it to your computer: script.
2) make it executable by: chmod a+x make_nup_gle
3) Type the script's name make_nup_gle at the command prompt to read
the documentation.
4) Example of use, to create an A4 page having 4 graphs(1.eps, 2.eps, 3.eps& 4.eps) on it:
make_nup_gle 1.eps 2.eps 3.eps 4.eps > tmp.gle; gle -device ps tmp.gle ; gv -media a4 tmp.ps
1) Download the source codes gle_4.0.10_src.zip from the GLE website or from here.
2) Unzip the souce code in a directory say ~/test:
~/test$ unzip gle_4.0.10_src.zip
3) Go inside this directory after the unzip: ~/test/gle-4.0.10a
~/test$ cd gle-4.0.10a
4) Before you compile the codes. You need to install the following
packages in your Kubuntu:
libtiff4-dev
libpng12-dev
xlibs-dev
You can do that using the Adept package manager. Start from the left
bottom corner of your Kubuntu screen:
K->System->Package Manager (Adept)
You need to have admin privilege to use the Adept. To have admin
privilege you need to change to superuser using command 'su', then use
the 'visudo' to add this line into the end of the file:
[username] ALL=(ALL) ALL
where [username] is your username in your kubuntu.
For example, to install libtiff4-dev:
For a quick search, type part of the package name into the 'Quick Filter' windows of Adept, e.g.:
tiff
Then click on libtiff4-dev from the listed packages.
Click 'Install Package' under the libtiff4-dev menu.
Now install it by clicking on the 'Commit Changes' button of Adept.
Do the same for the other packages.
As for SuSe 10 system, install the following packages:
libtiff-devel and libpng-devel
5) Now comes the easy part. Compile the source codes:
~/test/gle-4.0.10a$ export GLE_TOP=~/test/gle-4.0.10a/bin
~/test/gle-4.0.10a$ make -f Makefile.gcc
~/test/gle-4.0.10a$ su
~/test/gle-4.0.10a# make -f Makefile.gcc install
6) In this new gle package, you don't need the '-deps' argument when
generating an eps file. For example:
[old] $gle -deps test.gle
[new] $gle test.gle
Alternatively you can choose to generate an eps or ps file using the -device command like:
[new] $gle -device eps test.gle
[new] $gle -device ps test.gle
