RLPlot: a graphics progrogram

RLPlot is a cross platform development. It can be compiled for 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows, or Linux. 
Platform dependent definitions are found in the file "rlplot.h".

Buiding RLPlot for Windows
   Copy the files from the 'Win' folder to the folder where all th other source files are located.
   RLPLOT.RC is ASCII. If you open it with the 'resource editor' it may become corrupted and not useable. 
   
   a) With MS Visual Studio you may open 'rlplot64.sln' directly.
  
   b) Details for other Ides: 
      1) Create an empty project called rlplot (or rlplot32 or rlplot64)
      2) Drag all necessary files to the IDE
      3) Do not open the resource file with the integrated Resouce editor: this will destroy the file and making it useless
      4) Remove all UNICODE related settings as RLPlot will handle most UNICODE related topics itself
      5) Add "gdiplus.lib" to the Linker: Additional Dependencies

Building RLPlot for Linux
   The current distribution uses Qt version 6.
   Before building rlplot be sure the following packages must be installed:
      apt-get install gcc
      apt_get install g++
      apt-get install qt6-base-dev
   Copy the files from the 'Linux' folder to the folder where all the other source files are located.
   Execute 'make' to build rlplot. 
   The command ./rlplot will start rlplot.
   If the above procedure does not work you probably need to create a new Makefile.
      Execute 'qmake6' which will do this job. Then try again with 'make'.

Success!
