Would you be so kind to do a kind of a comparison to gnuplot.  It seems
me to have the same intention.  My personal opinion about gnuplot was
at first very good but it seems not to be developed since a long time
(and it needs further development).  A friend of mine pointed me also
to a third program which does the job.  It could be found under

   http://www.triumf.ca/people/chuma/physica/homepage.html

and seems me work looking at it and also packaging.  I didn't have the
time to try it more deeply but a short look was impressive.  The friend
switched from gnuplot, which he was happy about quite a while, to
physica.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
