3.8 Interfaces

The MathGL library has interfaces for a set of languages. Most of them are based on the C interface via SWIG tool. There are Python, Java, Octave, Lisp, C#, Guile, Lua, Modula 3, Ocaml, Perl, PHP, Pike, R, Ruby, and Tcl interfaces. Also there is a Fortran interface which has a similar set of functions, but slightly different types of arguments (integers instead of pointers). These functions are marked as [C function].

Some of the languages listed above support classes (like C++ or Python). The name of functions for them is the same as in C++ (see MathGL core and Data processing) and marked like [Method on mglGraph].

Finally, a special command language MGL (see MGL scripts) was written for a faster access to plotting functions. Corresponding scripts can be executed separately (by UDAV, mglconv, mglview and so on) or from the C/C++/Python/... code (see section mglParse class).
