PLplot Description

Free and open source scientific graphics plotting library PLplot is a cross-platform software package for creating scientific plots. To help accomplish that task it is organized as a core C library, language bindings for that library, and device drivers which control how the plots are presented in non-interactive and interactive plotting contexts.The PLplot core library can be used to create standard x-y plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, semi-log plots, mesh plots, log-log plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page, and multiple pages are allowed for those device formats that support them.PLplot has core support for Unicode. This means plots can be labelled using the enormous selection of Unicode mathematical symbols for simple text layout (left to right) language scripts using our libfreetype-based devices.

Here are some key features of "PLplot": Cross Platform: · Mac OS X, Linux and other Unices · Windows (2000, XP and Vista) · MS-DOS (DJGPP) Language Bindings: · Ada · C/C++/D · Fortran 77/90 · Java · OCaml · Octave · Perl · Python · Tcl/Tk · wxWidgets Output file formats: · CGM · GIF · JPEG · LaTeX · PBM · PDF · PNG · PostScript · SVG · Xfig Interactive Platforms: · X · GNOME · Tcl/Tk · PyQt · wxWidgets Requirements: · CMake What's New in This Release: · Commit (with a few changes) C++ interface upgrade (at least 13 new · PLplot library calls are now available) donated by Andrew Ross · under the LGPL. The Plplot · initialization has now been separated which allows plplot commands · that are supposed to be done before init (such as command-line · option processing) to work for the first time. This constitutes a · backwards-incompatible change that will be signalled by a new · libplplotcxx library major version number. · Commit (with a few changes) extended set of C++ examples donated · by Andrew Ross under the LGPL. · These examples test the interface by attempting to mimic the · results of the corresponding C examples. · x01cc.c: Change this one old (but still interesting) C++ example · to use the updated interface. · examples/c++/Makefile.am: extend the install to the new examples, · create symlink for lena.pgm (so x20 works), and use install-hook · (no more .samename) for post-install changes.
