Gnuplot is a general purpose graphing and plotting
application. Like a graphical scientific calculator, it plots equations
in two and three dimensions, solves for single or multiple variables,
and does limited numerical integrations and derivatives. Gnuplot also
has great flexibility in output format and can graph equations and
datasets far beyond the capability of a hand calculator. Like similar
mathematics tools, GnuPLOT allows for rapid visualization of changes to
assist in the understanding of complex functions. It should be noted
that a graphical user interface (GUI) is not required to use GnuPLOT,
and in fact the default compilation does not enable it.
This is not intended as a complete guide to using GnuPLOT. For the
complete users manual please visit the official GnuPLOT site.
