Linking with simple.dll

Hi!

On the Plato3 FTN95 help I found:

As an alternative to the automatic mode described above, %pl can take the form:

winio@('%pl[user_drawn]’,width,height)

width and height give the pixel dimensions of a SIMPLEPLOT graphics region. There are no other arguments to go with %pl. Direct calls can be made to the SIMPLEPLOT library from within a %sc call-back. Alternatively you could use %lw and put the library calls after the set of winio@ statements that describe the window.

Here is a simple example that illustrates this approach.

c--Simple3.for WINAPP INTEGER winio@,i,StartCB EXTERNAL StartCB i=winio@('%sy[no_border]%ca[User drawn]&') i=winio@('%pl[user_drawn]&',400,300) i=winio@('%sc',StartCB) END c--The start-up callback INTEGER FUNCTION StartCB() INCLUDE 'CLEARWIN.INS' INTEGER N,i PARAMETER(N=101) REAL x(N),y(N) c--Create the data. DO i=1,N x(i)=i-1 y(i)=x(i)**2 ENDDO c--Call SIMPLEPLOT routines to plot the graph. CALL INITSP CALL PAGE(12.0,10.0) CALL CHSET(-11) CALL NEWPAG CALL TITLE7('Higher','Centre','Sample') CALL SCALES(0.0,10.0,1,0.0,100.0,1) CALL AXGRID('*Cartesian',1,-1) CALL NEWPIC CALL AXIS7('XCartesian','x-axis') CALL AXIS7('YCartesian','y-axis') CALL BRKNCV(x,y,N,-1) CALL SIMPLEPLOT_REDRAW@ StartCB=1 END

When you link this program you must link with simple.dll.

Now, could you tell me how should I do to link with simple.dll?

(Sorry this will seem trivial for the most of you, but I never used that before)

Thanks!

Create a project if you have not already done so and then use the Project Explorer window to add a reference to the DLL.

Alternatively, from a command line in a DOS box, use SLINK. For example in interactive mode the commands are something like....

SLINK lo prog.obj lo simple.dll file

Thanks Paul, I added simple.dll at Project ---> Add References, Is it enough?

Yes it should be enough.
