From: "Klaus Staedtler" <staedtler-przyborskiatweb.de> 

Petr Mikulik has released Gnuplot 3.8i



Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility. 
The software is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have
to pay for it).  It was originally intended as graphical program which
would allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions
and data.  Gnuplot

supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices.  [ The "GNU" in gnuplot is

NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a

coincidence (and a long story; see the gnuplot FAQ for details). Thus
gnuplot is not covered by the Gnu copyleft, but rather by its own

copyright statement, included in all source code files.]



Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3 dimensions).
Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified

function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot on
the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles,

including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses
(crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and
arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key.  The interface
includes command-line editing and history on most platforms.
