PLplot
Encyclopedia
PLplot is a library of functions that are often used to make scientific plots in compiled languages such as C
, C++
, D
, Fortran
, Ada
, OCaml and Java
. PLplot can also be used interactively by interpreted languages such as Octave
, Python
, Perl
and Tcl
. The current version was written primarily by Maurice J. LeBrun and Geoffrey Furnish.

D (programming language)
The D programming language is an object-oriented, imperative, multi-paradigm, system programming language created by Walter Bright of Digital Mars. It originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is mainly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of C++...

Java (programming language)
Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities...

GNU Octave
GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB...

Python (programming language)
Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python claims to "[combine] remarkable power with very clear syntax", and its standard library is large and comprehensive...
