Overview
Gnuplot is a program for plotting scientific data. The resulting figures can be of very high quality, provided that attention is paid to detail. Impressive examples can be found on the [gnuplot homepage]. This page does not provide a detailed manual for gnuplot, but instead focuses on specific aspects typically accounted in the CSML when creating figures for manuscripts.
PDF terminal
The version of gnuplot installed on all local machines has been compiled with [PDFlib], which makes it possible to directly produce PDF images. These have the important advantage that the resulting figures are fully scalable and yet have a small file size.
