- ANNOUNCING PATCH 1 TO GNUPLOT 2.0
-
-
- What is Gnuplot 2.0?
- --------------------
-
- Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility for
- UNIX, MSDOS, and VMS platforms. The software is free. It was originally
- intended as graphical program which would allow scientists and students
- to visualize mathematical functions and data. Additions to this version
- of the software allow production of publication quality plots and data graphs.
- Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
- and is easily extensible to include new devices. [ The "GNU" in Gnuplot
- is NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just
- a coincidence (and a long story). ]
-
-
- What are the changes in patch 1?
- --------------------------------
-
- New commands cd (change directory) and pwd (print working directory).
-
- New drivers for Epson 60dpi printers, Tandy DMP-130 printer, Star
- colour printer, emTeX, AT&T 6300, Tektronix 410x, X11 window system.
-
- Bug fixes.
