"PLplot is a software package for creating scientific plots. "PLplot is a software package for creating scientific plots which core
The PLplot core library can be used to create: 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.
@itemize PLplot has support for plot symbols and text specified by the user in the
@item standard x-y plots UTF-8 encoding of Unicode. This means for our many Unicode-aware devices that
@item semi-log plots plot symbols and text are only limited by the collection of glyphs normally
@item log-log plots available via installed system fonts. Furthermore, a large subset of our
@item contour plots Unicode-aware devices also support complex text layout (CTL) languages such as
@item 3D surface plots Arabic, Hebrew, and Indic and Indic-derived CTL scripts such as Devanagari,
@item mesh plots Thai, Lao, and Tibetan. Thus, for these PLplot devices essentially any
@item bar charts language that is supported by Unicode and installed system fonts can be used
@item pie charts to label plots.")
