The chart looks superb! Can you please tell me which tool was used to generate this ?

The annotated SCO stock price chart Posted Mar 13, 2004 4:28 UTC (Sat) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] The content of the chart is superb. Well done, author! (I assume Corbet). This is the sort of article that makes me very happy to be a LWN subscriber.The presentation, however, looks awful. The fonts are ugly and poorly scaled. The linedraw is terrible. There are no gridlines so it's hard to read values near the middle. Did I mention the fonts? It looks straight out of the 80s. Ploticus is good for generating simple realtime plots but its output is definitely not print quality. I can recommend Gnumeric -- it's an amazingly capable spreadsheet with good plotting. You could also use GnuPlot to generate PostScript (then render with GhostScript and mark up with Dia).
