Plotc: 2-D Plotting With PostScript Output
Version 2.6

Plotc is a flexible two-dimensional plotting program that allows the user to create various plots without becoming an expert in the use of, or even knowing about, the baseline graphics routines.

The PDF form of the Plotc User's Manual (623K, 75 pages) was created using pdfTeX and the hyperref package, and is designed to be printed. The PDF file may be viewed and/or printed using a variety of freely available software packages, including Acrobat Reader , GhostScript , and xpdf . The HTML form is designed for interactive use, and the contents are listed below. A four-page Plotc Quick Guide (64K) is also available, as a PostScript file only.
