I've been using it since the late 1980s and am quite happy with it. There's an OpenBSD port (/usr/ports/math/gnuplot/), or you can fetch the official source distribution from the gnuplot web page and compile it yourself. The Development sources from SourceForge also build fine on OpenBSD. ciao, -- -- Jonathan Thornburg -- remove -animal to reply [EMAIL PROTECTED] Max-Planck-Institut fuer Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut), Golm, Germany, Old Europe http://www.aei.mpg.de/~jthorn/home.html Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam

Hi, I haven't used it before but you may want to check out PLPlot, it looks like it might meet your requirements. http://plplot.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, Chris On 4/9/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i have done some searching for ways to graph 2 and 3-d data using a C program on openbsd and not found anything particularly satisfactory. perhaps i'm not using the right keywords. i need to graph data from a C program and would prefer one library or other program (preferably port) with a C API that would do all i need. i searched the ports@ archive and saw xgraph and grace, but they only do 2-d graphing, AFAICT. anybody got any other suggestions? cheers, jake

I've heard GNUplot mentioned in this context. It's in ports (though not in packages). Joachim
