Date: 2 Jul 1997 15:27:16 GMT Organization: North Carolina State University Lines: 24 Message-ID: <5pds0k$5hn@uni00nw.unity.ncsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cc05du.unity.ncsu.edu Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:43942 I need a generic graphing package something like grap/pic or gle for FreeBSD. I DONT want a drawing program or a paint program. I want to be able to feed xy pairs to the program and generate reasonably good scientific plots in postscript, suitable for publication. I have been using grap/pic and gle on dos, but they are not apparently around for FreeBSD. The standard unix gle33b suite does not compile on FreeBSD, because of parsing errors (strange since it did fine on linux so maybe there are differences in the gcc's????? --- dunno). If anyone knows of a source for gle that will compile on FreeBSD, I would appreciate a copy. If anyone can recommend a good plotting filter for postscript output (I would prefer not to have to hassle with x11 but retain a filter approach directly to postscript output) I would love to hear about it. Gnuplot is one possiblility, but I would like to hear of any others that folks have ported and got running. Thanks, and Kudos the the FreeBSD crowd. It sure beats Winniedoz....(:+}}.... Bob Keys
