"PLplot is a software package for creating scientific plots.
The PLplot core library can be used to create:
"PLplot is a software package for creating scientific plots which core
library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semi-log 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, and multiple pages are allowed for those device formats that support
them.

PLplot has support for plot symbols and text specified by the user in the
UTF-8 encoding of Unicode. This means for our many Unicode-aware devices that
plot symbols and text are only limited by the collection of glyphs normally
available via installed system fonts. Furthermore, a large subset of our
Unicode-aware devices also support complex text layout (CTL) languages such as
Arabic, Hebrew, and Indic and Indic-derived CTL scripts such as Devanagari,
Thai, Lao, and Tibetan. Thus, for these PLplot devices essentially any
language that is supported by Unicode and installed system fonts can be used
to label plots.")
