  Gnuplot
       
           A command-driven interactive graphing program.  Gnuplot
          can plot two-dimensional functions and data points in many
          different styles (points, lines, error bars); and
          three-dimensional data points and surfaces in many different


          styles (contour plot, mesh).  It supports {complex} arithmetic
          and user-defined functions and can label title, axes, and data
          points.  It can output to several different graphics file
          formats and devices.  Command line editing and history are
          supported and there is extensive on-line help.
       
          Gnuplot is {copyright}ed, but freely distributable.  It was
          written by Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley, Russell Lang, Dave
          Kotz, John Campbell, Gershon Elber, Alexander Woo and many
          others.  Despite its name, gnuplot is not related to the {GNU}
          project or the {FSF} in any but the most peripheral sense.  It
          was designed completely independently and is not covered by
          the {General Public License}.  However, the {FSF} has decided
          to distribute gnuplot as part of the {GNU} system, because it
          is useful, redistributable software.
       
          Gnuplot is available for: {Unix} ({X11} and {NEXTSTEP}),
          {VAX}/{VMS}, {OS/2}, {MS-DOS}, {Amiga}, {MS-Windows},
          {OS-9}/68k, {Atari ST} and {Macintosh}.
