Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
|
||
|
|
for UNIX, MSDOS, and VMS platforms. The software is copyrighted but
|
||
|
|
freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was
|
||
|
|
originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
|
||
|
|
and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot
|
||
|
|
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
|
||
|
|
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
|
||
|
|
easily extensible to include new devices. [ The "GNU" in gnuplot is
|
||
|
|
NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a
|
||
|
|
coincidence (and a long story). Thus gnuplot is not covered by the Gnu
|
||
|
|
copyleft, but rather by its own copyright statement, included in all
|
||
|
|
source code files.]
