PGPLOT generates nice plots but it is missing
a couple of features that would make things
simpler:
(1) support for RGB bitmap images
(I think there is a patch floating around that
has color support but it has never made it into
the mainline distribution---which hasn't changed
in 8 years)
(2) on-going development and better availability
(Last updated version was v5.2.2 released 2001-02-26)
As a result, I'm working to get plplot viable as a
replacement for PGPLOT. (I have not yet been able
to build PLplot out of the box and PDL to use it
for cygwin).
Assuming I can get the plplot build issues resolved,
my goal is to write an OpenGL based driver for plplot
to unify 3D and 2D graphics for PDL.
