GPlot

GPlot is a convenient front-end for gnuplot that provides a user-friendly GUI. The software accepts a wide range of options and makes it easier to generate gnuplot input for generating a single plot of one or more data sets (overlaid as necessary). It is important to note that GPlot does not add any new functionality to gnuplot.

For those who have struggled with making simple plots, GPlot is a game-changer. Gnuplot can be quite daunting, and it can take a long time to generate the desired plot. However, GPlot simplifies the process immensely. It eliminates complexities such as understanding the difference between "lt 3" versus "lt 5" and "pt 3" versus "pt 22". Instead, with GPlot, users can generate the plot they want using simple commands. For example, "gplot.pl -color red -point triangle my.data" can generate a plot with a red color and triangle points.

GPlot is perfect for those who need a simple solution for plotting columnar data and want to save time. GPlot may not be able to handle complexities that gnuplot can, but for those who want to plot simple columnar data and do not have time to spend figuring it out, GPlot is the perfect software.

Some examples of how to use GPlot include:

- Plotting data in '1a.data' and showing it as an X window
- Plotting two sets of data and showing it as an X window
- Plotting data in '1a.data' and creating a Postscript file /tmp/gplot.ps
- Plotting data in '1a.data' and creating a Postscript file '1a.ps'
- Plotting data in '1a.data' and annotating it with a title and axis labels
- Plotting three sets of data with specified colors and points

This latest release of GPlot allows users to plot more than four sets of data at once and is compatible with gnuplot 4.2. Overall, GPlot is a great software for those who need a simple and user-friendly solution for plotting data.
