We have been using gnuplot on our Iris a fair amount and it gives adequate output for simple 2D plots, though it's not very flexible. We recently installed gnuplot (version 2.02 from duke.cs.duke.edu) with the patches from cs.utah.edu to allow 3D plotting. The 3D examples look OK, but as to actually using it we'll have to wait and see. But then it's free. We are also going to try WingZ which is a port of the Mac (and PC) spreadsheet to the Iris which is supposed to have nice graphics. I've never used WingZ at all so I can't say much about it's capabilities in the scientific arena. When we get it and play around a bit I can let anyone know whose is interested what our impressions are. Or maybe some people already have opinions who've used it on a Mac or PC? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Adios Amebas, | "Rock (music) is the most brutal, ugly, | | Robert Briber | desperate, vicious, form of expression it has | | NIST 224/B210 | been my misfortune to hear." -Frank Sinatra | | Gaithersburg, MD 20899| rbriber@poly1.nist.gov (Internet) | | (301) 975-6775 (voice)| rbriber@enh.nist.gov (Internet) | | (301) 975-2128 (fax) | rbriber@nbsenh.bitnet (Bitnet) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
