Download Ptplot 5.4
Downloads
Ptplot is available for download in several format.
Each of the formats contains the same functionality.
Installation Instructions
1. Install Java, if necessary
Ptplot 5.4 requires Java 1.2 or later.
Java 1.3 is preferred.
To run Ptplot, the Java runtime environment (JRE) is sufficient.
To run the applets in a browser, the Java plug-in is required.
The JRE is bundled with the plug-in, so downloading the plug-in
is sufficient. To extend Ptplot with your own
Java code, the Java development kit (JDK)
or an equivalent Java development environment is required.
The JDK includes a Java compiler.
One way to determine what version of Java (if any) is installed
is to run our
Java Version Applet , which
uses the Java 1.3 plug-in.
Another way is to run the command below to see whether
you have Java installed, and whether it is the proper version:
java -version
If the command cannot be found, or the version that is printed is
less than 1.3, you should install the plug-in, JRE 1.3, or JDK 1.3
Downloads:

2. Install Ptplot
There are three ways to install Ptplot on Windows machines:
Download the tar file and run using the java command
- Download
ptplot5.4.tar.gz
(1.91Mb)
- Untar the file. In this example, I untared it in
d:\tmp
so that d:\tmp\ptplot5.4
was created.
- The tar file contains sources and jar files, to run the
plotter, start up a command window with
Start
-> Run
-> cmd
and type
java -classpath d:/tmp/ptplot5.4/ptolemy/plot/plotapplication.jar ptolemy.p
lot.plotml.EditablePlotMLApplication
There are also simple DOS batch files that will start up
the Plotter. They depend on the PTII
environment variable
being set. You can set that variable and run the batch files with:
C:\>set PTII=d:\tmp\ptplot5.4
C:\>echo %PTII%
d:\tmp\ptplot5.4
C:\>%PTII%\bin\ptplot
or
Run the installer as an applet.
This applet, built with a commercial product from Zero G Inc.,
will install Ptplot, from Berkeley, on your machine.
If you choose to install via the applet, a dialog will pop
up asking if you will grant permission to run software from
Zero G Software. To continue with the installation process,
click on the 'Grant' button.
or
Download a
2.5Mb Windows executable, and execute it.
If you are not planning on extending Ptplot, and you
downloaded using the applet or installer, then you can run
Ptplot via Start->Programs ->Ptolemy->Ptplot 5.4
To extend Ptplot under Windows, you will also need the
Cygwin toolkit, and then
follow the
Installation Instructions
to set up your build environment.
Other Platforms:
There are two ways to install on certain other platforms:
Run the installer as an applet or download an installer.
The
2.5Mb Windows executable
has been tested, the other installers are experimental. Please
send any feedback about these installers to
ptplot@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
