Ploticus might be -your choice for stylistic reasons or just because it suits the problem or -application. In general, ploticus is good at making graphs like you would see -in newspapers and news magazines, business publications, journals for medical -and social sciences, and so on. - -You can also use Ploticus in combination with standard desktop tools, e.g. -generate data displays using ploticus then import SVG or PNG into PowerPoint, -Word, etc.) - -Ploticus is not a function or mathematical plotting package like gnuplot, nor -would it be a good choice for applications where mathematical formulas or -scientific notations are to be rendered as an integral part of the data -display. Ploticus is also not intended as a "marketing" graphics package. Its -goal is to display data crisply without extra decoration and distracting -"dingbats" that cloud the picture. Thus there is little support for 3-D -effects, gradient backgrounds, and so on. - -FreeBSD note: the binary is referred to as 'pl' in the source files, but -is installed as 'ploticus' so as to avoid conflicts with other ports. |
