This plotting utilities package includes release 4.1 of GNU libplot: a thread-safe function library for exporting two-dimensional vector graphics. Additional contents of the plotutils package: 1. libxmi. This is a function library for drawing X11-style vector graphics (lines, polylines, polygons, circular and elliptic arcs) on an in-memory bitmap. 2. Sample command-line programs based on libplot, including the following. graph. A full-featured scientific plotting program for plotting XY (i.e. 2-dimensional) data. plot. This is a so-called plot filter, which takes a stream in GNU graphics metafile format, and either translates it to another format or uses it to drive a display device. pic2plot. This is a utility program that takes a file in the pic language, and either translates it to another format or displays it on an X display. tek2plot. This is a utility program that emulates a Tektronix 4014 terminal in the sense that it reads a stream of Tektronix commands, and either produces an output file in another format or displays the corresponding graphics on an X display. plotfont. This is a simple utility that prints out a character chart for any font available to the above four utilities (graph, plot, pic2plot, tek2plot) and the underlying libplot library. 3. Command-line mathematical programs not based on libplot, including the following. spline. This program does spline interpolation of input data, which may be of arbitrary dimensionality. ode. This interactive program supplements the computation engine of `gnuplot', which will compute and plot functions, by providing the ability to integrate systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE's). More information is available in /usr/share/doc/plotutils-2.41/README, and in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/plotutils-2.41, after package installation. The Web page for the package is: http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html . UPDATE ====== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'plotutils' from the 'Graphics' category. Then click on the 'skip' field next to 'plotutils' until '2.4.1' is displayed. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.
