PLplot
PLplot is a scientific plotting package. It is relatively
small, portable, freely distributable, and is rich enough to satisfy
most users.
It has a wide range of plot types including
line (linear, log), contour, 3D, fill, and almost 1000 characters
(including Greek and mathematical) in its extended font set.
The package is designed to make it easy to quickly get graphical
output; only a handful of function calls is typically required.
PLplot can also be used interactively by interpreted languages
such as Octave,
Python,
Perl
and Tcl.
For more advanced use, virtually all aspects of plotting are
configurable. The PLplot library is written in C, enabling it to run on
many platforms practically without modification.
