Have you checked the gnuplot home page at: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/gnuplot_info.html I found the reference manual to be very good (even for the beta-325 version). Gnuplot (especially the beta, which I found to be much more complete and useful than the released 3.5 version) is stable, fast, and very capable. We've just finished a project for a client and used gnuplot for it with great success (it was on SGIs though). Read all the docs carefuly and I think you'll get it. > > What is the best documentation I can get on gnuplot, or is there > another software package (possibly I'll have to buy it) that will do > a similar job or even a better job? > Wilton Hughes 520-776-8272 > 3682 Estate Drive > Prescott, Arizona 86303-7523 > unixsa@northlink.com > Nadav
