Plplot绘制随时间变换的动态图

这是一张随时间变换的动态图像，用到的plot函数有：

// Create 1d stripchart，可同时绘4条函数
    void stripc( PLINT *id, const char *xspec, const char *yspec,
                 PLFLT xmin, PLFLT xmax, PLFLT xjump, PLFLT ymin, PLFLT ymax,
                 PLFLT xlpos, PLFLT ylpos,
                 bool y_ascl, bool acc,
                 PLINT colbox, PLINT collab,
                 const PLINT colline[], const PLINT styline[], const char *legline[],
                 const char *labx, const char *laby, const char *labtop );

// Add a point to a stripchart.
    void stripa( PLINT id, PLINT pen, PLFLT x, PLFLT y );
// Deletes and releases memory used by a stripchart.
    void stripd( PLINT id );

程序代码如下：

#include "plc++demos.h"

#ifdef PL_HAVE_UNISTD_H
# include <unistd.h>

# ifdef PL_HAVE_POLL
#  include <poll.h>
# endif
#endif
