+ Ploticus is a new free software package for Unix that creates graphical data
+displays for web pages and intranets, paper reports, posters, slides, or
+interactive use. Ploticus is script-driven and can be invoked automatically
+(automated) from web servers and other programs. Ploticus can work with flat
+ascii or spreadsheet data sets that can include numerics and text as well as
+dates and times in a wide variety of notations. It also has built-in
+capability of computing frequency distributions, cross-tabs, medians,
+quartiles, and curve fitting. It is the successor to IPL, a freeware plotting
+program by the same author, released in 1989.
