Now available: Gnuplot in Action, Second Edition https://www.manning.com/books/gnuplot-in-action-second-edition After the usual and inevitable delays associated with such a project, the 2nd edition of my book "Gnuplot in Action" is now complete. It has been sent to the printer; copies will be on the shelves within a couple of weeks. An eBook version (with extra content and full color graphics) is also available. Print book customers receive the eBook for free as part of their purchase. Although based on the 1st edition (which was published in 2009), this is essentially a new book. It has been completely revised and fully updated to cover Gnuplot 5. Highlights from the new edition: - Full coverage of plots and standard features Including details on plot types, arrows and labels, keys and tic marks - Color, color, color Color specifications, alpha shading and transparency, data-dependent coloring, false-color plots - Terminal handling in depth Cairo-based terminals, SVG and HTML5 terminals, Latex terminals, terminal workflow - Fonts and Unicode Detailed information on gnuplot's new font selection and Unicode strings: special symbols were never so easy! - Loops, scripting, batch operations In addition to interactive use, gnuplot can also serve as programming environment for graphs. This books shows you how. - ... and so much more! Thanks to everyone on this list who has helped, through advice or correspondence - and by keeping gnuplot active and alive! I hope you'll find the new edition useful - check it out! Best, Ph. |
