INFO
====
The gnu plotutils package (plotutils-2.4.1) is now available for cygwin.
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,

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.
