GNU plotutils contains software for both programmers and technical
|
|
users. Its centerpiece is libplot, a powerful C/C++ function library for
|
|
exporting 2-D vector graphics in many file formats, both vector and
|
|
raster. It can also do vector graphics animations. libplot is
|
|
device-independent in the sense that its API does not depend on the type
|
|
of graphics file to be exported.
|
|
|
|
Besides libplot, the package contains command-line programs for plotting
|
|
scientific data. Many of them use libplot to export graphics.
|
|
|
|
Other ./configure options that you may want to add (provided you install
|
|
the required fonts):
|
|
|
|
--enable-ps-fonts-in-pcl enable use of PS fonts in PCL and HP-GL/2
|
|
output
|
|
--enable-lj-fonts-in-ps enable use of LaserJet fonts in PS output
|
|
--enable-lj-fonts-in-x enable use of LaserJet fonts on X displays
|
|
|
|
This package can be useful for managing GNU Metafile plots, used by
|
|
default in applications such as ng-spice.
