Gnuplot

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].

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.
