Fortran from python – Python Binding for Fortran Code As an aeronautical engineer, I received fortran as a legacy. From NAL to working for Rolls-Royce, work life revolves around fortran. This  is the language that I have been programming for 12+ years now. That explains this many fortran related posts here and here. But from couple of years, I am falling in love with Python. Here […]
A Simple Fortran code to Simulate Stochastic Stock Price Movement A few months ago I posted this pgplot powered fortran animation program on calculating the approximate value of PI by Monte Carlo method using random numbers.

A dynamic-link library (DLL) contains one or more subprograms that are compiled, linked and stored separately from the applications using them. A DLL can also be used as […]
Things to consider before Fortran migration from F77 to F90 The effort required to conduct a Fortran migration depends largely on the answers to the following questions: 1. Is the code modular? Modular the code, easier and more convenient is programmer’s job. That’s why is better to understand the FORTRAN code. First and foremost one should understand the call sequence, commons and data structure. 2. […]

GUI development with Fortran The usual bashing point for FORTRAN is that it doesn’t have any GUI building capabilities. Its not designed to be. It was developed in the days of punch card and ever since speed, portability and backward compatibility has been its pillars of success. But this doesn’t mean, we can do GUI with FORTRAN. Here’s the […]
What to use? F90 or F for Fortran programs There’s a lot of confusion on using F90 and F extensions for FORTRAN program.

    I have read with interest Sukhbinder’s comments about GUIs and Fortran applications.
    I have gone down the DISLIN route. Here are some screenshots of the GUI for a structural engineering application I’ve recently completed using GFortran to analyse skeletal framed structures:

    http://alturl.com/h9x2g

    The screenshots show the program in its not-fully-debugged state, so there are errors in the output results which don’t appear in the completed version. The GUI is nevertheless fully demonstrated by the screenshots.

    Anyone interested in more information, feel free to contact me: John@Wasilewski.co.uk
