is a free software package for Unix platforms that creates plots and
graphical data displays for
web pages and intranets,
paper reports,
posters,
slides, or
interactive use.
It is script-driven
and can be invoked automatically
from web servers and other programs.
It can work with flat ascii or spreadsheet
data sets
that can include numerics and text as well as
dates and
times in a wide variety of notations.
It also has built-in capability of computing frequency
distributions, cross-tabs, medians, quartiles, and curve fitting.
Ploticus, which was first released in 1999, is the successor an earlier
freeware plotting program called ipl.
Getting started:
After downloading the software,
look through the Gallery using your web browser.
Then download an example to try.
For example, if you had downloaded the example ploticus script
pie2.htm, you could generate an EPS file
by typing the command
pl -eps pie2.htm.
You can modify the script as desired with
your favorite text editor, using the hyperlinked
handbook as a guide.
A test suite is also available from the download page that contains
about 20 example scripts.
