.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
kmatplot \- A Gnuplot-like tool for plotting data sets in 2D or 3D.
|

|

|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B kmatplot

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This manual page briefly documents
|
||
|
|
.B KMatplot.
|
||
|
|
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
|
||
|
|
because the original program does not have a manual page.

.B KMatplot
|
||
|
|
is a Gnuplot-like tool for plotting data sets in either two or
|
||
|
|
three dimensions. It can plot many types of 2d plots, including pixmaps
|
||
|
|
and contours, and 3d surfaces. It offers a full WYSIWYG mode with
|
||
|
|
multiple objects on a single page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As opposite to Gnuplot,
|
||
|
|
.B KMatplot is very clickable, so easier to use for unexperienced users.
|
||
|
|
It can be used instead of Gnuplot with Octave and Scilab (although the
|
||
|
|
Debian package is not built with Scilab support by default) - there are
|
||
|
|
new dll functions installed in those packages, which communicate with
|
||
|
|
.B KMatplot
|
||
|
|
through a Unix socket. Those functions are named 'kplot', 'kimage',
|
||
|
|
kmesh', and are similar to those found in Octave by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example plots can be found in the Help menu of the program. Help for
|
||
|
|
many of the Octave functions can be found within Octave, for example:
|
||
|
|
"help kplot", "help kaddaxes".
