I am looking for programs for plotting data that produce high-quality output. I want the capabilities of: labeling axes, inserting legends, plotting characters, including titles and subtitles, splines, etc. I have tried the PiCTeX package. The resulting LaTeX programs are extremely slow to process; the plotting character is a period. Perhaps thousands of periods must be plotted to create even a simple curve. It has every capability I need. But, it is not practical. I mention it only as an indication of the capabilities I am looking for. I beleive the way to go is PostScript. After all, all our printing is done on PostScript printers. So, we might as well eliminate as many intermediate steps as possible. Are there any good UNIX plotting packages that produce PostScript?
