- What kind of 2D graphs, specifically?
-
- I have found that gnuplot generates PostScript output code that is
- very easy to customize. One window with an editor session on the gnuplot
- postscript output and one window of ghostview (I suppose xpsview would
- work as well) makes a pretty reasonable environment for fixing up
- PostScript plots for publication quality.
-
- I am still not happy with the gnuplot contouring code, but I have
- not spent much time trying to hack it into reasonableness....
