With YPLOT it is +possible to create plots of both draft and publication quality very +quickly and efficiently. + +YPLOT can do linear plots, log-log plots (with any variations of log +and linear axes possible), 3D surface and mesh plots (there is a +difference, really ;-), 3D line and scatter plots, grid lines, with +lots of symbols and stroked fonts to choose from (all scalable). +YPLOT gives the user full control over boxes drawn, captions, fonts +and placement of labels. + +Plotting with YPLOT is fast due to the interpreted nature of YPLOT +(which means decreased development time), and the efficiency of Yorick. + +Lots of output devices are available, including X11, Postscript, +Laserjet printers, and PLPlot metafiles for later rendering. + +The packages also includes a tutorial and reference manual that +demonstrates most of YPLOT's capabilities with explanations every step +of the way! |
