Where to Find Libraries of PV-WAVE Programs
Several libraries of procedures and functions written in the PV‑WAVE language are available for your use. You can use the routines in these libraries as they are, or you can copy or modify the code for use in your own applications.
The following diagram shows the directory structure for PV‑WAVE function and procedure libraries:
 
Figure 1-1: The PV‑WAVE function and procedure library directory structure.
 
The rest of this section describes the contents of each of these libraries.
 
Table 1-1: PV-WAVE Function and Procedure Libraries   
Library
Description
std
Routines in the Standard library are fully tested and documented by Rogue Wave.
guitools
Contains an assortment of graphical user interface (GUI) routines. These routines perform color table modifications, display surface views, display and manipulate iso-surfaces, and provide access to a variety of other functions. The GUI routines all begin with Wg (e.g., WgSurfaceTool) and are described in the PV‑WAVE Reference.
motif
windows
Contains the standard WAVE Widgets routines for Motif and Microsoft Windows. For information on WAVE Widgets, see the PV-WAVE Application Developer’s Guide.
user
User library routines written and submitted by PV‑WAVE users.
This library contains such entries as routines for compressing images, making pie charts, creating 2D/3D bar graphs, and displaying 3D scatterplots.
The routines in the User library are not documented in the PV‑WAVE documentation set. For information on a routine in the user library, read the header of the .pro file for that routine.
For information on adding routines to the User Library, see "Submitting Programs to the User Library".
vdatools
Contains routines used to build VDA Tools. These include the VDA Tools Manager (Tm) routines, VDA Utilities (Wo), and a set of prewritten VDA Tools (Wz).
Creating Your Own Library
You can also create your own routines and add them to the library, or create your own library. In fact, creating your own library is recommended so your routines aren’t lost when you upgrade to a new version of PV-WAVE.
 
note
Be sure to include the new directory in the PV‑WAVE search path. You can do this by modifying the !Path system variable.
