GR - a universal framework for visualization applications
GR is essentially based on an implementation of a Graphical Kernel System (GKS) and OpenGL. As a self-contained system it can quickly and easily be integrated into existing applications.
The GR framework can be used in imperative programming systems or integrated into modern object-oriented systems, in particular those based on GUI toolkits. GR is characterized by its high interoperability and can be used with modern web technologies. The GR framework is especially suitable for real-time or signal processing environments.
GR was developed by the Scientific IT-Systems group at the Peter Grünberg Institute at Forschunsgzentrum Jülich. The main development has been done by Josef Heinen who currently maintains the software, but there are other developers who currently make valuable contributions. Special thanks to Florian Rhiem (GR3) and Christian Felder (qtgr, setup.py).
For further information please refer to the GR home page.
Using the GR Rust-crate
- Install GR
- Set the
GRLIB
environment variable to the path of GR'slib
directory / folder- It should contain
.lib
,.dylib
or.so
files - On Windows (and also MinGW) you should use an absolute path
- On Linux and Mac some paths will be searched when
GRLIB
doesn't refer to a usable installation:~/gr
(ie. implicitGRLIB=~/gr/lib
)/usr/gr
(ie. implicitGRLIB=/usr/gr/lib
)/usr/local/gr
(ie. implicitGRLIB=/usr/local/gr/lib
)
- This variable is only needed at compile-time
- It should contain
- The crate's build-script outputs a path as
cargo:lib_dir
- The Rust program will need to load libraries from that path!
Make it accessible!
You may want to put this into yourPATH
(Windows),LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(Linux),DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
(Mac) or your binaries' rpaths. - On Windows this is not the same as
GRLIB
!
It will point to thebin
folder, which contains the.dll
s.
- The Rust program will need to load libraries from that path!
Make it accessible!
To test your setup, try compiling and running this simple application:
use gr::gr;
use std::io::{stdin, Read};
fn main() {
gr::polyline(2, &[0.0, 1.0], &[0.0, 1.0]).unwrap();
gr::updatews();
stdin().bytes().next();
}
