Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML)

Distributed with Compaq Visual Fortran is the Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML) which is a set of
mathematical subprograms. Included subprograms cover the areas of:
Basic Linear Algebra (BLAS Level 1, 2, and 3 including some Level 1 extensions)
Array Math Functions
LAPACK Library
Linear System and Eigenproblem Solvers
Sparse Linear System Solvers
Sorting
Random Number Generation
Signal Processing

For more information about CXML, see: http://www.compaq.com/math

Windows Programming Support

Compaq Visual Fortran supports multiple project types, including Fortran Console, Fortran QuickWin/Standard
Graphics, Fortran Windows, Fortran DLL, Fortran Static Library, and COM Server (Professional and Enterprise
editions). Compaq Visual Fortran provides full access to the Windows Application Programming Interfaces
(APIs) for Fortran Windows applications and provides non-graphical Windows APIs for Fortran Console
applications. Project wizards make it easy to create new Fortran projects in Developer Studio. Fortran
environments can be saved, copied, and managed. Dialog procedures can be created in Fortran to use ActiveX
controls as well as a variety of other Windows controls. Declarations of Win32 API routines, structures, and
constants are provided in pre-built modules with sources.

Mixed Language Programming Support

Mixed-language programming is the process of building programs in which the source code is written in two or
more languages. Compaq Visual Fortran can be used with other 32-bit versions of Microsoft languages like
Visual C++, Visual Basic, and MASM (Microsoft assembler). Mixed language development is especially easy in
combination with Microsoft Visual C++6. All minor versions of Compaq Visual Fortran Version 6 use the same
Microsoft Developer Studio IDE that is used with Visual C++6. Having a common IDE with Microsoft Visual
C++enables you to edit, debug, compile, and link Fortran and C/C++modules transparently. Fortran object
modules may be linked directly with your C/C++program. It also possible to create Fortran DLLs and use MFC
in Visual C++6 to create "wrappers" for the DLLs. OLE objects can also be created in this manner.

The Fortran Module Wizard

An added value tool provided in Compaq Visual Fortran is the Fortran Module Wizard. The Fortran Module
Wizard is designed to automatically generate Fortran source code that can invoke routines in a dynamic link
library (DLL), methods of an Automation object, and member functions of a Component Object Model (COM)
object. COM is the base architecture of OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and ActiveX and is an extensible
architecture that provides mechanisms for creating and using software components in multiple languages.

The goal of the Fortran Module Wizard is to remove some of the complexity facing a Fortran developer in
accessing the rich set of services available to clients in the Windows environment through DLLs and COM-based
servers. The Fortran Module Wizard reads a description of a service which the service provider created and
generates appropriate Fortran interface code. This automatically generated code makes calling these services as
easy as calling another Fortran function or subroutine.

The Fortran COM Server Wizard (Professional and Enterprise editions)

The Fortran COM Server Wizard generates the Fortran code necessary to implement a COM server, and allows
you to concentrate on the code that is specific to the component you are creating. The COM Server Wizard creates
in-process servers (not EXE servers) and custom or dual interfaces (not Automation - only interfaces). The
Fortran COM Server Wizard provides a graphical user interface to help interactively define the attributes of your
COM server. It lets you define and name classes, interfaces, methods, and so on. The user interface contains two
panes:
A tree control to display your classes, interfaces, methods, and so on
A property page that displays the properties of the selected element in the hierarchy

The Compaq Array Visualizer (Professional and Enterprise editions)

The Compaq Array Visualizer is a set of software components that enables you to visualize array data
interactively. Any integer or real type array of rank 1-7 can be viewed using the Compaq Array Visualizer. The
Compaq Array Visualizer also defines a binary file format (.agl) that can be used to save array data for later
analysis.

The Compaq Array Visualizer consists of:
Array Viewer
The Array Viewer (a component of the Compaq Array Visualizer that is distributed in all editions) is an
executable program (aviewer.exe) that can load and display .agl or .hdf files. It displays array data in two
adjustable panes: the top pane shows a scrollable spreadsheet-style view of the array data; the bottom pane
displays a graphical view of the array data. There are four viewing modes in which the graph can be
displayed in the bottom pane:
- Height Plot displays the array data as a 3D surface where the X and Y dimensions correspond to the
array indexes and the array elements are mapped as a displacement in Z. This option is only available for
arrays of rank 2 or higher.
- Image Map displays the array data as a 2D image where the X and Y dimensions correspond to the array
indexes and the array elements are mapped to a color range. This option is only available for arrays of
rank 2 or higher.
- Vector Graph displays the array data as a series of 2, 3, or 4 component vectors. In this mode an array is
viewed as a list of vectors. For example an array declared as M(3, 500) would consist of 500 vectors of
the form (x, y, z). The first three components are mapped to the x, y, and z axis. The fourth component
(if present), is mapped to a color using the color palette. This option is only available for arrays of rank 2
or higher.
- 2D View displays the array data as a conventional 2D graph where the X dimension corresponds to the
array index and the array elements are mapped as a displacement in Z. This option is available for arrays
of rank 1 or arrays of higher rank but with 10 or fewer rows.
Aview Library
The Aview Library (aview.lib) is a small set of subroutines that enables any Fortran application to display
array data with Array Viewer. The Aview Library can also be used to directly save array data to an .agl file
for later viewing with the Array Viewer. The AVDef module defines the Fortran interface for the Aview
library. There is also a C language interface defined in avdef.h. The \Program Files\ArrayVisualizer\Samples
directory includes example programs that use the Aview Library.
Avis2D ActiveX Control
The Avis2D ActiveX (ocx) control can be used by any development environment that supports ActiveX
controls. For example, you can access ActiveX controls from VC++/MFC, Visual Basic, and Compaq Visual
Fortran. The Avis2D control enables the application to display array data, as a height field or image view,
within one of its applications windows. The Avis2D control provides more than 100 properties and methods
that the application can use to customize its behavior.
9

AvisGrid ActiveX Control
Like the Avis2D control, the AvisGrid control can be used by any development environment that supports
ActiveX controls. The AvisGrid control can be used to display array data numerically in a scrollable
window. AvisGrid shares many of Avis2D's properties and methods.
