Dear PDL users,
Shortly on the heels of the prerelease announcement to perldl-porters, I'm
pleased to announce PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot 1.0 is now available on CPAN. It
combines the nice interactive features we've seen with Prima, with the
publication-quality output and rich, high level feature set of Gnuplot itself.
Thanks to Dima Kogan for getting this project off the ground and for keeping it
on track as more features were hacked into it.
Gnuplot is a standalone device-independent plotting platform that is venerable
but also vibrant. It is currently the main plotting backend for Octave and
both mature and under active development and maintenance. I've been using it
exclusively for plotting for the last 8 months or so, so the interface layer is
also reasonably mature.
PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot has been tested on MacOS and several flavors of Linux.
It allegedly works with Microsoft Windows (via IPC::Run) but has not been
tested there.
Key features:
* 2-D and 3-D device-independent plotting on many devices
* Publication quality output
* Interactive pan/zoom/scale features
* Mouse I/O
* RGBA image display
* Scientific (world coordinates) image display with FITS/WCS metadata
* Options-driven plotting (don't need to know gnuplot syntax)
* Store/replay plots (e.g. generate plot interactively, then dump to
PDF)
You can get it from CPAN or directly from GitHub:
