i definitely disagree. gnuplot is nice in that it can be integrated as part of automated scripts (e.g., as part of a script that processes data files, formats them, then feeds them to gnuplot), and it does have loads of features. however, i recently took the same data that i was pumping into gnuplot and plopped it into MS Excel, then made terrificly beautiful graphs (multi-column, bar, 3d, etc) with un- believable ease, and then sent them into a PowerPoint presentation. as much as i dislike Win95/NT/MS, this Excel->PowerPoint process was unbelievable and beats the heck out of grinding through gnuplot's numerous options. --andy -- Andy Kahn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 603-884-2557 (DTN: 264-2557) Digital Equipment Corporation Fax : 603-881-2257 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
