Gnuplot is a command-driven interactive function plotting program.

Plots any number of functions, built up of C operators, C library

support for plotting data files, to compare actual data to
theoretical curves.

User-defined X and Y ranges (optional auto-ranging), smart axes
scaling, smart tic marks.

Labelling of X and Y axes.

User-defined constants and functions.
