Kent, Take a look at the Gri plotting language <http://gri.sourceforge.net>. Dan wrote this package before he was aware of gnuplot. I've used both, and can tell you that GRI is much more comprehensive and better documented by orders of magnitude. Anyway, you can plot your data however is most appropriate and end up with a PostScript file. There are many tools (including ImageMagick) that will transform the .ps file into a .eps file for inclusion within your document. Rich Dr. Richard B.
