Documentation

Compaq Visual Fortran provides extensive online documentation for
Compaq Visual Fortran, Compaq Array Visualizer, and the Win32 APIs,
including a Language Reference, Programmer's Guide, and Error
Messages. This online documentation uses the Microsoft HTML Help
Viewer, which requires Internet Explorer 4.0 SP1 (or later).  Printed
hard copy documentation includes the multiplatform Compaq Fortran
Language Reference Manual and the Compaq Visual Fortran Installing
and Getting Started guide.

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:

  o Basic Linear Algebra (BLAS Level 1, 2, and 3 including some Level
    1 extensions)
  o Array Math Functions
  o LAPACK Library
  o Linear System and Eigenproblem Solvers
  o Sparse Linear System Solvers
  o Sorting
  o Random Number Generation
  o Signal Processing

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 Fortran 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.

More information can be found at http://www.compaq.com/fortran/visual/

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 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:

  o A tree control to display your classes, interfaces, methods, and
    so on
  o 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:

  o 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.

  o 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.

  o 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.

  o 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.
