GKS Availability

The UNIX (source code) version of PDE2D calls standard GKS (Graphical Kernel System) routines to do the graphics, so you must have a GKS library on your system if you want to use the PDE2D graphics (you can only get tabular output or MATLAB graphics otherwise). The following two versions of GKS are available at no cost, both have been tested with PDE2D.

  
   Package         Vendor
