I would like to package and maintain ploticus for Cygwin. Ploticus is command-line software for creating plots and graphics, similar to gnuplot.
Ploticus is part of Debian unstable: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/ploticus. Source homepage: http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/ Source download: http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/download/pl232src.tar.gz License: GPL Packaging notes: - The main executable is named /usr/bin/ploticus. - SWF output capability has been omitted for now, since libming isn't available yet for Cygwin. All of the other output capabilities are there: X11, PNG, SVG, JPEG, WBMP, PS, and EPS, with FreeType2 support. - The Bitstream Vera fonts and extra Javascript files that Reini listed aren't in this package. They're not part of the ploticus source, I don't have them, and either I don't know their purpose (Javascript) or they probably belong in a different package (fonts). However, if it makes sense to add them I'll be glad to do so. - The HTML documentation for ploticus weighs about 4 times as much as the program package, and is available online. For that reason I've split the docs into a separate ploticus-doc package. - I put ploticus in the Graphics category, but also in Libs, because it contains libploticus.a. Please let me know if this isn't appropriate. Please review, and if the packages are found suitable, upload. Thanks, Andrew. <setup.hint for ploticus> sdesc: "Command-line plot and graph generator" ldesc: "Ploticus is command-line software for creating plots, charts, and graphics from data. Ploticus is good for automated or just-in-time graph generation. You can use 'prefabs' to quickly create common types of graphs, or write custom scripts to give you full control. Ploticus can make scatter, bar, box, range, vector, pie, and venn charts, and offers curve fitting, multiple axes and plot areas, legends, and text overlays. It allows significant user control over colors, styles, options and details. It handles date and time data nicely, and has basic statistical capabilities. The results can be either displayed directly, or output as PNG, JPEG, WBMP, SVG, PS, or EPS images." category: Graphics Libs requires: cygwin expat libfontconfig1 libfreetype26 libgd2 libiconv2 libjpeg62 libpng12 xorg-x11-bin-dlls zlib </setup.hint for ploticus> <setup.hint for ploticus-doc> sdesc: "Command-line plot and graph generator (HTML documentation)" ldesc: "Ploticus is command-line software for creating plots, charts, and graphics from data.
