PLplot is a library of functions that are useful for making scientific plots.
PLplot can be used from within compiled languages such as C, C++, FORTRAN and Java, and interactively from interpreted languages such as Octave, Python, Perl and Tcl.
The PLplot library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, mesh plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph.This program wants to offer interactive plotting using the Tcl programming language with plotting extensions.
A variety of output file devices such as Postscript, png, jpeg, LaTeX and others, as well as interactive devices such as xwin, tk, xterm and Tektronics devices are upported. New devices can be easily added by writing a small number of device dependent routines.There are almost 2000 characters in the extended character set. This includes four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. Some devices supp
Many different output device drivers are available, including postscript, tektronix, HP laserjet, HP pen plotters, XFig, xterm, X-windows, and a portable metafile format, among others. The Tk driver under Unix/X provides a full user interface based on the plframe plotting widget (see below). The metafile renderer (plrender) supports all of the standard operations as well as seeking operations (backward, forward, or to any specified page) when interactively viewing metafile output.
Part of the PLplot package is a Tcl-based interpreter (pltcl).
Also part of PLplot is a Tk-based plotting widget, called a plframe. This widget is based on the Tk frame widget, and supports a variety of user options such as zoom, scrolls, save to a variety of devices, print, resize, page layout, orientation change, and palette manipulation. Direct plotting to the widget may be done by calls to the underlying library using either C or Fortran bindings, and a large number of operations can be interpreted directly (in Tcl) by the widget.
Enhancements:
- * Commit (with a few changes) C++ interface upgrade (at least 13 new PLplot library calls are now available) donated by Andrew Ross under the LGPL. The Plplot initialization has now been separated which allows plplot commands that are supposed to be done before init (such as command-line option processing) to work for the first time. This constitutes a backwards-incompatible change that will be signalled by a new
- libplplotcxx library major version number.
-
- Commit (with a few changes) extended set of C++ examples donated by Andrew Ross under the LGPL. These examples test the interface by attempting to mimic the results of the corresponding C examples.
-
- x01cc.c: Change this one old (but still interesting) C++ example to use the updated interface.
- examples/c++/Makefile.am: extend the install to the new examples, create symlink for lena.pgm (so x20 works), and use install-hook (no more .samename) for post-install changes.

Print Plug-In provides a basic printing capability for The GIMP.
The current release supports PostScript, PCL (HP LaserJet and DeskJet), and ESC/P2 (EPSON Stylus Color) printers. The PostScript printer drivers handle PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files if you have them.
Using the Print Plug-In:
The Printer option provides selections for many common printers. Currently the print plug-in supports the following printers:
- PostScript printers
- HP DeskJet 500, 500C, 520, 540C, 600C, 660C, 68xC, 69xC, 850C, 855C, 855Cse, 855Cxi, 870Cse, 870Cxi, 1100C, 1120C, 1200C, and 1600C printers
- HP LaserJet II, III, IIIp, IIIsi, 4, 4L, 4P, 4V, 4Si, 5, 5FS, 5L, 5P, 5SE, 5Si, 6L, 6P printers
- EPSON Stylus Color, Color Pro, Color Pro XL, Color 400, Color 500, Color 600, Color 800, Color 1500, Color 1520, and Color 3000.
The Output Type option controls whether the printed output is in color or B&W (grayscale). This option is silently forced to B&W for grayscale images and B&W-only printers.
The Media Size option controls the size of the output. By default images are printed to fit the page and are automatically rotated to fill the largest area possible.
The Media Type option tells the printer what type of media is being used (Plain, Coated, etc). Not all printers support the media type option.
The Media Source option tells the printer which paper tray to print from. Not all printers support the media source option.
The Resolution option controls the resolution of the output. Not all printers support the resolution option.
The Orientation option controls whether the output is automatically rotated for maximum page coverage (Auto) or set to a specific orientation (Portrait or Landscape).
The Scaling option controls how large the printed image is. The default is to scale to a percentage of the printable area of the page. You can also specify an image resolution in pixels-per-inch (PPI) by clicking on the PPI radio button. The image is centered by default, however you can adjust the position of the image on the page by dragging the preview image.
The Brightness option controls the overall printed image brightness. A brightness of 100 is usually good for most B&W and PostScript printers, while most inkjet printers need a brightness between 100 and 120 for acceptable results.
Printing to a File
If you want to print to a file, select File from the Printer list. A file chooser dialog is displayed when you press the Print button. Warning, when you print to a file any existing file will be silently overwritten by this release of the plug-in!
Layered Images
Like most plug-ins, the print plug-in only reads the image from the active layer. If you want to print a composite of all visible layers you need to merge the layers (CTRL-M) and then print.
Supported Printers/Features
Most of the printer drivers in the print plug-in use the highest supported resolution for a printer, with the following exceptions:
- EPSON Stylus Color 600, 800, 1520, and 3000 - Currently the driver only supports 720 DPI printing in "compatibility" mode. This makes the drivers extremely slow compared to the Windows and Mac drivers. Unfortunately, I cannot provide optimized drivers (nor drivers for 1440x720) because of our NDA with EPSON.
- EPSON Stylus Photo, Photo Ex, Photo 700 - Currently the driver only supports 720 DPI printing in "compatibility" mode. This makes the drivers extremely slow compared to the Windows and Mac drivers, and you dont get the use of the light cyan and magenta inks (again, because of NDA restrictions.)

GNU Trueprint is a project which allows you to print source code.
Trueprint is a program for printing source code in a variety of languages (C is the best supported) and other text files to postscript printers.
It supports a wealth of options to support printing source code, such as diff-marking, line numbers, indentation levels, file and function indices, and many others.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
Enhancements:
- Trueprint now uses autoconf and automake (Paul Smith, and the book GNU Autoconf, Automake and Libtool by Gary V. Vaughan et al, published by New Riders).
- Mention of trueprint.uu removed from README (Othmar Pasteka).
- Suffix .pike added for pike programs (Othmar Pasteka).
- Added include of sys/types.h before sys/stat.h to support FreeBSD (Dmitry Sivachenko).
- README.mswin removed (John Morey).
- If there isnt an lp or lpr command on your system when you run configure, trueprint will now be built to send postscript output to stdout by default (Othmar Pasteka).
- Choice options like --landscape and --option were broken due to a serious bug in options.c (Paul Smith).
- Added Canon LBP 3260 (Bjorn Wingman).
- Added HP Laserjet 1100 (Peter Green).
- Fix for handling arithmetic<<less
