Plotutils - Plotting and graphics utilities
The GNU plotutils package contains software for
both programmers and technically oriented users. Its centerpiece is
the libplot/libplotter, a C/C++ function lib for exporting 2-D
vector graphics in many file formats (including WebCGM format,
recommended by the graphics Activity of the W3 Consortium). It can
also do vector graphics animations, has thread-safe APIs, and
supports the use of Posix threads (if available).
The program also contains the following command-line programs for
plotting scientific data:
- graph- plots 2-D datasets or data streams in real time
- plot- translates metafile formats to any of the other formats
- tek2plot- translates legacy Tektronix data to any of the
above formats
- pic2plot- translates the pic language to any of the other
formats
- plotfont- displays character maps of the fonts available in
the above formats.
- spline- spline interpolation of data
- ode- numerically integrates ordinary differential equations
