    GeoGebra does not run in text-only, i.e. headless mode, which is the primary usage scenario of GnuPlot.

    Comments about NumeRe as an Alternative to GnuPlot
     
    NumeRe.org

    NumeRe provides a similar (but not the same) syntax to plots and function definitions as GnuPlot. A similar powerful Levenberg-Marquart least squares is also available but the data management and data evaluation functionalities are far more elaborate than GnuPlot. We used GnuPlot in the past as well and we still suggest it as the goto alternative for plotting, if NumeRe is not available.

    GrafEq (pronounced “graphic”) is an intuitive, flexible, precise and robust program for producing 2D graphs and plots of explicit and implicit equations and inequalities.

    8 GrafEq alternatives
    A common graph, of interest to students of introductory calculus. Not as difficult to handle as Spike, since its change in frequency is smooth—yet many graphing programs still generate misleading graphs for this function.

    A graph of the function x^x; although the graph does not immediately appear to be a function, closer examination will reveal its true nature. Most graphing programs do not define the exponential function for negative bases.
