Just checked the SuSe installation DVD:
Besides gnuplot there's also a gnu plotutils package containing
"libplot" and commands like "plot", "graph", etc.
Not installed by default, but with a deeply nested package
productivity/graphics/visualization/graph.
So it evidently still exists in some form or other.
Which probably also means we should keep "plotin" and the related
manpage references around for another while. There's even a
"plotout" still sitting in the attic...

Ah, so "plot files" are indeed something different from "graph
files".
Since the plot(5) man page presumably documenting that format is
gone,
keeping a program around that depends on it doesn't make much
sense.
Well, it was never my package, so I've no idea if it's still "out
there," somewhere. Used to be standard on BSD Unix, anyway. Anyone
else know what we're talking about?
Plot goes all the way back to Unix v7. It appears that the GNU
plotting utilities (https://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/), not to
be confused with gnuplot will still read the format.
So I suppose it is still "out there," but I am not sure that it
matters much any more.
