Ctioga2
Ctioga is a powerful command-line plotting system written in
Ruby. It has been designed to rapidly make publication-quality
graphs.
It aims at plotting quickly both data files and mathematical
functions, with however the possibility of a high control over the
details.
It produces high quality PDF files with text processed with
pdflatex. It is based on the Tioga library, written by one of
the creators of the postscript language.
Ctioga has been designed with ease of use and extensibility
in mind.
Features include:
- Very good looking graphs
- Very easy to do simple things (plotting a simple
text file doesn't take more than a second or two)
- Output can be configured to a very deep level
- Features a plugin backend system that takes care of reading
data files, it is very easy to enhance existing backends or
add new file formats (such as binary ones)
- The text on the graph is much better than in most other
plotting programs as it is handled by LaTeX
- Many fancy effects, such as gradients for successive
curves, filled curves, transparency,
the ability to make insets (zooms, for instance), attractive histograms
- Scripting capabilities
- PDF, EPS, PNG (with the help of convert) and SVG (with the
help of pdf2svg) output
