Here is a better one, pleaase upload:

sdesc: "A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility."
ldesc: "Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting 
utility for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms. Gnuplot
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices. Gnuplot handles both curves 
(2 dimensions) and surfaces (3 dimensions)."
