After years of whining about the lack of decent (by my definition)
plotting programs available for Linux, I've finally put my money
(what little there is) where my mouth is and created my own.

It's written using fltk and OpenGL and is, as a result, cross platform.
At this point it is known to work on Linux and Cygwin, though fltk is
reputed to work on many different platforms.  See:
http://www.fltk.org  

I've been working on it for about a month now but in the last week or
so it's started to approach usability, so I've registered it on SF.
No web page yet (in work), but cvs and mailing lists are available for
those that are interested:
http://www.sf.net/projects/thplot

It's all GPL'd, so it will, ultimately, go where its contributors take
it.  That said, however, the most important quality I'd like to see it
maintain is the ability to get data on screen quickly.  I think it has
it now by virtue of its simplicity but, as it grows, I hope it can be
maintained by always providing a sane set of defaults.


Thanks,
