Re: publication quality graphs

["Jordan H. Mantha" <mantha@chem.unr.edu>]

Hi all,
   
   I would just like to throw out PGPLOT. According to the 
website, http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/ :

   "The PGPLOT Graphics Subroutine Library is a Fortran- or C-callable, 
device-independent graphics package for making simple scientific graphs."

   In my lab some of us use it to make pubilcation quality plots (my 
advisor considers the quality to be superior to gnuplot, for what it's 
worth). We also use it as a part of our data collection (because it is 
Fortran or C library) programs to visualize our experiments in real time 
(no Labview here). Anyway, I don't use it too much unless I need really 
good quality plots because you have to make (and compile) a Fortran 
program to use it. But, I do think it is worth considering.
