The PLplot library +can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, +contour plots, 3D 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. Different line styles, widths and +colors are supported. A virtually infinite number of distinct area fill +patterns may be used. There are almost 1000 characters in the extended +character set. This includes four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and +a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. The fonts can be +scaled to any desired size. A variety of output devices are supported and +new devices can be easily added by writing a small number of device +dependent routines. |
