Its centerpiece is libplot, a powerful C/C++ +function library for exporting 2-D vector graphics in many file +formats, both vector and raster. It can also do vector graphics +animations. + +libplot is device-independent in the sense that its API +(application programming interface) does not depend on the type of +graphics file to be exported. + +Besides libplot, the package contains command-line programs for +plotting scientific data. Many of them use libplot to export +graphics. + +Other ./configure options that you may want to add (provided you install +the required fonts): + +--enable-ps-fonts-in-pcl enable use of PS fonts in PCL and HP-GL/2 output +--enable-lj-fonts-in-ps enable use of LaserJet fonts in PS output +--enable-lj-fonts-in-x enable use of LaserJet fonts on X displays + +This package can be useful for managing GNU Metafile plots, used by +default in applications such as ng-spice. -- cgit v1.2.3
