Description:

PLPlot is a graphical scientific plotting package, in form of a library,
relatively small, portable and free, enabling you to easily create Draw
files from within your programs (not only RISC OS programs, but from any
architecture plplot has been ported to).

It has a wide range of plot types including line (linear, log), contour,
3D, fill, and almost 1000 characters (including Greek and mathematical)
in its extended font set.

Many different output device drivers are available, including postscript,
tektronix, HP laserjet, HP pen plotters, XFig, xterm, X-windows, and a
portable metafile format, among others.

plplot.zip  is the full PLPlot package,
pl_man.arc  is the manuals,
plpl_ro.zip is a 'ready to compile' distribution, with a selection of drivers.
