Uesful Gnuplot websites · 8 July 2008, 19:32
Gnuplot is an incredibly useful free program for plotting functions and data that I use a lot. Some day I intend putting together a guide to making the most out of it, but in the meantime here are a collection of useful websites for using this surprisingly powerful piece of software.
The official Gnuplot website is the place to go to download a copy of Gnuplot as well as a useful resource for detailed documentation on what the program can do and how, including a number of examples. However, for newcomers the documentation can be a bit bewildering; a number of sites have good introductions to using Gnuplot, one of the better of them is the Math Blog’s Getting started with Gnuplot. Another good tutorial is this Duke University Gnuplot 4.0 tutorial page. IBM have a good article on visualising 2D data with Gnuplot.
If you’ve got to grips with the basics and want quick answers an excellent resource is the Gnuplot: Not so frequently asked questions website, an invaluable site that I’ve made a great deal of use of over the years (and still do).
If I find more I’ll add them. If you want to suggest a good Gnuplot site then please leave a comment below.
