GNU plotutils 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 does not depend on the type
|
|
|
|
|
of graphics file to be exported.
