Re: free plot software
As a friend of mine said, http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/license.html This term is moderately odious: 3. In the event Licensee prepares a derivative work that is based on or incorporates matplotlib 0.98.1 or any part thereof, and wants to make the derivative work available to others as provided herein, then Licensee hereby agrees to include in any such work a brief summary of the changes made to matplotlib 0.98.1. but in any case, Damien, thanks a lot, because you have made me discover exactly what I was looking for (or very close to, at least). Not only the license but in general matplotlib seems to match my requirements very well. I was really looking forward to getting something like supermongo/ gnuplot but more... user-friendly , more powerful and... with a nicer license. I see also by the way that you are the maintainer, so again thanks for porting it to OpenBSD!

Re: free plot software
Hi Tim and Marc, thanks for the quick answer. I have had a look at R; it reminds me of octave, but I didn't like octave because, again, the plotting engine is gnuplot. Tim, I had a look at GMT but I then read Thus, a complete GMT installation may take up around 200 Mb. and it scared me away. I know that includes the data sets etc but I didn't want to spend much time trying to udnerstand what would be too much for me or not... though I see *now* in openports.se that Filesize: 8441.547 KB ps... sorry about that... anyway... R is looking promising, I have just started to produce some plots. I am wondering about the possibility of using TeX or something similar for the labels. Do you know how to do that? I have tried to look for a while but found nothing. Of course, this is not openbsd-related, so please answer me off-list. Thanks Pau PS: Still, a BSD-licensed programme like R or gnuplot seems not to exist, right? 2008/7/30 Tim Hume [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Pau, You might like to look at the Generic Mapping Tools: http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ GMT is a collection of UNIX utilities for making scientific plots (with a particular focus on geophysics, but widely used elsewhere). I think it meets all your requirements of being command line driven, active and free. Cheers, Tim. Hi, do you know of a command-line, active, FREE programme to produce scientific plots? I am getting more and more used to gnuplot, but I don't like their conditions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnuplot#License I have read something about gri, but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as gnuplot is, and the license is, well, gpl. There are some other gpl-lincesed projects but they look either not active or not well-advanced, or are GUI-specific, as grace is. Supermongo -which I used in the past- is not very freedom-friendly and I don't like the ps result: Everything is converted into a curve, included the labels (letters). This makes very difficult the (potential) per-hand edition/modification of the ps. Just asking. Thanks in advance. Pau
