Questions tagged [gnuplot]

{gnuplot} Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for Linux, OS/2, MS Windows, macOS, VMS, and many other platforms.

The program runs on all major computers and operating systems (GNU/Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, macOS and others). It is a program with a fairly long history, dating back to 1986. This software is not distributed under the GPL license, opting for its own open source license instead.

Questions should address issues about interaction between gnuplot and TeX/LaTeX.
