![]() Distribution terms gnuplot License Authorĭespite gnuplot's name, it is not named after, part of or related to the GNU Project, nor does it use the GNU General Public License. ĭevelopment Version 5.5 is 2021 available. Support of Epidemic daily and week formats in Version 5.4.2 is a result of pandemic coronavirus data needs. The name of this program was originally chosen to avoid conflicts with a program called "newplot", and was originally a compromise between "llamaplot" and "nplot". Modular subsystems for output via Qt, wxWidgets, and LaTeX/TikZ/ConTeXt are written in C++ and Lua. The gnuplot core code is programmed in C. Gnuplot also provides scripting capabilities, looping, functions, text processing, variables, macros, arbitrary pre-processing of input data (usually across columns), as well ability to perform non-linear multi-dimensional multi-set weighted data fitting (see Curve fitting and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm). ![]() Gnuplot can read data in multiple formats, including ability to read data on the fly generated by other programs ( piping), create multiple plots on one image, do 2D, 3D, contour plots, parametric equations, supports various linear and non-linear coordinate systems, projections, geographic and time data reading and presentation, box plots of various forms, histograms, labels, and other custom elements on the plot, including shapes, text and images, that can be set manually, computed by script or automatically from input data. The program can be used both interactively and in batch mode using scripts. It is also capable of producing LaTeX code that can be included directly in LaTeX documents, making use of LaTeX's fonts and powerful formula notation abilities. Gnuplot can produce output directly on screen, or in many formats of graphics files, including Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), JPEG and many others. Originally released in 1986, its listed authors are Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley, Russell Lang, Dave Kotz, John Campbell, Gershon Elber, Alexander Woo "and many others." Despite its name, this software is not part of the GNU Project. The program runs on all major computers and operating systems ( Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, macOS, FreeDOS, and many others). Gnuplot is a command-line and GUI program that can generate two- and three-dimensional plots of functions, data, and data fits. ![]()
