  I'm the anonymous referee using this software for a meteorological application. Wasn't logged in when I reviewed it an hour ago.

• Thumbs up

  After finding this program online, we are using this program as front-line data analysis on a meteorological data acquisition system. We are running it on low-powered embedded hardware under Linux. Our datasets are 24 Mbytes/minute, but we reduce them to 20 kBytes/minute by plotting them. It lets us look at low res. data w/o straining network bandwidth until we decide what data is interesting. Much thanks to Mr. Macgoughan. This tool is very fast and stable.

• Finally an update

  Yes, minor updates. Better standard GNU short and long options. Fixed the .tar.gz so that it extracts to a plot2d folder. A little more functionality - See release notes.

• New Plot2D Feature Plans for the Beta Release

  A windows explorer shell extension is in the plans for the Beta release. Users will be able to right click and select "Plot2D". "Plot2D->1v2" will plot columns 1 vs 2 directly. Also "Plot2D->1v3", "Plot2D->1v4", etc. "Plot2D->WithOptions", will bring up an options dialog box. "Plot2D->ChooseXY", will bring up a dialog box to select the X and Y columns. Other features requested so far: 1. Add ability for the series label to be determined by a header line in the datafile, as the default series label. 2. The GUI provided will be able to convert an options file into a command string to aid in developing batch/shell scripts. 3. Requests for plotting of double binary files are under consideration as well. 4. An example project using the C only plotting package. Send in your suggestions!

• Plot2D, Alpha 0.05, Gains momentum

  Much better command line functionality. The ability to plot without the option file ("plot2d data.txt" from terminal). Optimized for multiple series from the same file. Plot limit determination from multiple series rather than just the first series. The ease of use of this command line tool for generating plots with statistics in the figure is great for quick and easy analysis of numeric data. Initial feedback from the O/S community finds the software lacking compared to Grace, gnu graph, gnuplot and others for overall capabilities. However, it is extremely easy to get started and figure out how to generate the figures. It also meets the need for windows users well. More feedback please, before this software can be declared beta.

• New Plot2D Project Goals

  1. Short learning curve - compared to gnu graph, gnuplot and Grace. 2. Better command line power. a) enable full command line functionality with the need for an option file. b) enable fast command line. "./plot2d data.txt" will plot 1 first column vs the second column 3. Create a documentation page for how to add plot2d to your C/C++ project.

• Plot2D, Alpha 0.04, wants your feedback.

  The Plot2D project, a platform-independent application for generating 2D scatter-plots directly to compressed images, now allows users to try out the software via the project web page (http://plot2d.sourceforge.net) and via a simple windows graphical user interface. The software is great for plotting numeric data without the need for a GUI, generally via a shell script or a windows batch file. It uses a simple ASCII options file and is a stand-alone package.
