PLplot is a cross-platform, scientific graphics plotting library that supports math symbols and human languages (via UTF-8 user input strings); plot capabilities for multiple non-interactive plot file formats and in multiple interactive environments; and bindings for multiple computer languages.

Features

  • cross-platform (implemented with a CMake-based build system)
  • plot library (implemented in C)
  • UTF-8 user input strings (to support virtually all math symbols and human languages)
  • non-interactive device drivers (supporting multiple image formats)
  • interactive device drivers (supporting multiple interactive environments)
  • bindings for multiple computer languages

Project Samples

PLplot standard example 11, page 4 PLplot standard example 15, page 5 PLplot standard example 24 which demonstrates our UTF-8 capability

    Great plotting library. Almost the only choice to embed a Cairo plot in Gtk 4 in the C programming language. Really hope this project can be active and keep updating.
