PLplot is a library of functions that are useful for making scientific plots. PLplot can be used from within compiled languages such as C, C++, Fortran and Java, and interactively from interpreted languages such as Octave, Python, Perl and Tcl. The PLplot library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, mesh plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph. some initial work by Matthias Kilian. thanks to the people who tested this.

The PLplot library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog
|
|
plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, mesh plots,

bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different

|
A variety of output file devices such as Postscript, png, jpeg,
|
|
LaTeX and others, as well as interactive devices such as xwin, tk,
|
|
xterm and Tektronics devices are supported. New devices can be
|
|
easily added by writing a small number of device dependent routines.
|
|
|
|
There are almost 2000 characters in the extended character set.
|
|
This includes four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and a host
|
|
of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. Some devices support
|
|
their own way of dealing with text, such as the Postscript and LaTeX
|
|
drivers, or the png and jpeg drivers that use the Freetype library.
