Re: gnuplot
I have two objections to Gnuplot. First, it doesn't include a real programming language. This means the various types of data manipulation needed to set up most plots have to be done by an external program. Second, when gnuplot doesn't produce exactly what you want, it is difficult or impossible to make significant changes to the plot. (Also worth noting is that gnuplot's barely-DFSG license has caused problems for Debian in the past. See #100612) For non-interactive applications (e.g. web) one can use R. Note that R's PNG and JPEG devices rely on having an X server present. I've had success with R producing EPS output, and then using Imagemagick's convert command, which calls Ghostscript behind the scenes, to rasterize it. --Andre ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
