Visualize your data with gnuplot (developerWorks)
IBM developerWorks looks
at Gnuplot 4.0. "Gnuplot is a freely distributed plotting tool
with ports available for nearly every major platform. It can be operated in
one of two modes: when you need to adjust and prettify a graph to "get it
just right," you can operate it in interactive mode by issuing commands at
the gnuplot prompt. Alternately, gnuplot can read commands from a file and
produce graphs in batch mode."

Visualize your data with gnuplot (developerWorks) Posted Jul 26, 2004 18:07 UTC (Mon) by sfeam (subscriber, #2841) [Link] I am glad to see any new tutorial for gnuplot, since almost all of the existing guides predate the many new features in gnuplot version 4.But it is curious that this one totally fails to mention the 3rd major mode of operation: using gnuplot as part of a web server back end that generates in-line graphics in response to web queries. I predict this use will become even more attractive as browser support for SVG increases.
Visualize your data with gnuplot (developerWorks) Posted Jul 27, 2004 8:23 UTC (Tue) by jrbeire (guest, #21244) [Link] Second this comment - am running an intranet site which uses gnuplot as a backend to produce graphs on demand of scientific data for display through a web browser
Visualize your data with gnuplot (developerWorks) Posted Jul 26, 2004 19:59 UTC (Mon) by adulau (guest, #1131) [Link] An alternative to gnuplot, ploticus. Also very flexible and the various prefabs permit to build complex graphics in a small time...
See also Grace Posted Jul 26, 2004 21:36 UTC (Mon) by stevenj (guest, #421) [Link] Another alternative is Grace, which is a free WYSIWYG-style plotting package with both interactive and batch-scripting modes. I've had a much easier time getting production-quality plots out of it than gnuplot, although Grace is limited to 2d plots only.
