It +combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX +interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality +are built out of these primitives. + +Features +* PostScript and PDF output for device independent, freely scalable figures +* seamless TeX/LaTeX integration +* full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns, + transformations, clipping, bitmap inclusion, etc. +* advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations, + splitting, smoothing, etc. +* sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes + partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles, etc. |
