The GNU plotutils package contains software for both programmers
|
||
|
and technical users. Its centerpiece is libplot, a powerful C/C++
|
||
|
function library for exporting 2-D vector graphics in many file
|
||
|
formats, both vector and raster. It can also do vector graphics
|
||
|
animations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
libplot is device-independent in the sense that its API
|
||
|
(application programming interface) does not depend on the type of
|
||
|
graphics file to be exported.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Besides libplot, the package contains command-line programs for
|
||
|
plotting scientific data. Many of them use libplot to export
|
||
|
graphics.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Other ./configure options that you may want to add (provided you install
|
||
|
the required fonts):
|
||
|
|
||
|
--enable-ps-fonts-in-pcl enable use of PS fonts in PCL and HP-GL/2 output
|
||
|
--enable-lj-fonts-in-ps enable use of LaserJet fonts in PS output
|
||
|
--enable-lj-fonts-in-x enable use of LaserJet fonts on X displays
|
||
|
|
||
|
This package can be useful for managing GNU Metafile plots, used by
|
||
|
default in applications such as ng-spice.
