Interesting links.
I have been using GLE for producing plots since my diploma thesis and
before. Unfortunately the license it not very clear, so it can not go into
Debian. There is a project on sf.net which holds source that is actually
buildable:
http://glx.sourceforge.net/
I guess GLE was already taken, also we have already a debian package called
gle. The page says it is opensource, but I don't think they have something
official from the original author. I think GLE produces good postscript
graphics and is fairly easy to use, if you have used it for a decade... one
of these days I will try to learn how to use some newer tools, but there is
too much choice already!
