GNUPLOT AND REDUCE _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ introduction

The GNUPLOT system provides easy to use graphics output for curves or surfaces which are defined by formulas and/or data sets. GNUPLOT supports a great variety of output devices such as X-windows, VGA screen, postscript, picTeX. The REDUCE GNUPLOT package lets one use the GNUPLOT graphical output directly from inside REDUCE, either for the interactive display of curves/surfaces or for the production of pictures on paper.

Note that this package may not be supported on all system platforms.

For a detailed description you should read the GNUPLOT system documentation, available together with the GNUPLOT installation material from several servers by anonymous FTP.

The REDUCE developers thank the GNUPLOT people for their permission to distribute GNUPLOT together with REDUCE.
