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.
|
|
A variety of output file devices such as Postscript, png, jpeg 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 supports its own way of dealing with text,
|
|
such as the Postscript driver, or the png and jpeg drivers that uses the
|
|
Freetype library.
