3.1 Basic usage

MathGL library can be used by several manners. Each has positive and negative sides:

MathGL drawing can be created not only by object oriented languages (like, C++ or Python), but also by pure C or Fortran-like languages. The usage of last one is mostly identical to usage of classes (except the different function names). But there are some differences. C functions must have argument HMGL (for graphics) and/or HMDT (for data arrays) which specifies the object for drawing or manipulating (changing). Fortran users may regard these variables as integer. So, firstly the user has to create this object by function mgl_create_*() and has to delete it after the using by function mgl_delete_*().

Let me consider the aforesaid in more detail.
