The GNU plotting utilities currently consist of seven user-level programs: graph, plot, plotfont, tek2plot, spline, ode, and double. Distributed along with them is GNU libplot, a function library for device-independent two-dimensional vector graphics. These utilities do not replace gnuplot, but rather supplement it.
plotutils-2.1.4: description + notes
- graph is a program for plotting two-dimensional scientific data.
- The plot program is a so-called plot filter. It can translate GNU graphics metafiles (produced for example by raw graph) into the six supported output formats.
- The tek2plot program can translate from Tektronix format to any of the abovementioned output formats.
- The plotfont program is a simple utility that displays a character map for any font that is available to graph, plot, or tek2plot.
- Among the other GNU plotting utilities, spline does spline interpolation of scalar or vector-valued data.
- ode provides the ability to integrate an ordinary differential equation or a system of ordinary differential equations, when provided with an explicit expression for each equation.
- The final plotting utility, double, is a filter for converting, scaling and cutting binary or ASCII data streams. It is still under development and is not yet documented.
Distributed along with the plotting utilities is GNU libplot, the function library for device independent two-dimensional vector graphics on which graph, plot, and tek2plot are based. libplot can draw graphics on X Window System displays, and can generate graphical output in any of five additional formats.
Use "
xset fp+ /usr/freeware/share/fonts/libplot" to access the standard Postscript, Tektronix, and HPGL PCL 5 compatibility fonts.
