This is the documentation for the routines in the pp_lib library.

Installation

The whole library is provided in a git repository, which contains the source code (in pp_lib/src) and documentation (in pp_lib/doc). There are no external dependencies.

To install the library, you may simply use git to download the current version and any susbsequent update. One way to do it is:

[user@computer ~]$ git clone git://github.com/ppenteado/pp_lib.git
Cloning into pp_lib...
remote: Counting objects: 56, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (51/51), done.
remote: Total 56 (delta 4), reused 53 (delta 4)
Receiving objects: 100% (56/56), 809.23 KiB | 158 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (4/4), done.

This will create a directory called pp_lib under the current directory, with a copy of the library. If have done this and want to update your copy of the library to the current version, you can then just get in the pp_lib directory and and do an update:

[user@computer ~]$ cd pp_lib
[user@computer ~]$ git pull

If you prefer, you can get the library as a zip file.

Then, add the directory pp_lib/src to your IDL path. For help on the many ways to add the directory to the IDL path, you can see IDL's help, or the relevant part in David Fanning's instructions on how to set the path for his libraries.
