# The math/plplot port

## plplot-5.15.0p4 – advanced 2D and 3D scientific plotting library

## Description

    PLplot is a library of functions that are useful for making scientific
    plots.

    PLplot can be used from within compiled languages such as C, C++,
    Fortran and Java, and interactively from interpreted languages such
    as Octave, Python, Perl and Tcl.

    The PLplot library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog
    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 with multiple lines in each
    graph.

    A variety of output file devices such as Postscript, png, jpeg,
    LaTeX and others, as well as interactive devices such as xwin, tk,
    xterm and Tektronics devices are supported. New devices can be
    easily added by writing a small number of device dependent routines.

    There are almost 2000 characters in the extended character set.
    This includes four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and a host
    of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. Some devices support
    their own way of dealing with text, such as the Postscript and LaTeX
    drivers, or the png and jpeg drivers that use the Freetype library.
