+ PLplot is a library of functions that are useful for making scientific
+ plots. It can be used from within compiled languages such as C, C++,
+ FORTRAN and Java, as well as interactively from interpreted languages such
+ as Octave, Python, Perl and Tcl. It is capable of producing standard x-y
+ plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, mesh
+ plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs may be composited, and it
+ also supports a large variety of output file devices such as Postscript,
+ PNG, JPEG, LaTeX and others. It is also possible to to use interactive
+ devices such as xwin, tk and xterm as output devices. PLplot also offers
+ support for extended characters inculding the Greek alphabet and a host of
+ mathematical symbols.
