What is GnuPlot?
Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility. It was originally intended as to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. It does this job pretty well, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses, including web scripting and integration as a plotting engine for third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot supports many types of plots in either 2D and 3D. It can draw using lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated text. It also supports various specialized plot types.
Comments and Reviews
GnuPlot has an easy and fast to learn syntax, it's plotting features are amazing and the nonlinear least-squares provides good results.
It's worth noting that despite the name, gnuplot is gratis software rather than libre. It is not licensed under the GNU GPL.
