Summary

The liborbital library gathers a set of functions that makes gnuplot a helpful tool not only to plot orbits and graphics of orbital elements, but also to accomplish simple, but not trivial, tasks such as:

1. Get the mean motion given the Cartesian coordinates of position and velocity
2. Convert Cartesian one coordinates into orbital elements, increase some of them and convert them back to Cartesian coordinates.
3. Evaluate the arc of orbit corresponding to a given time interval.
   always very quickly via the gnuplot's prompt of command. All you need to do is to load the library:

load 'lib_orbital.plt'

and the functions will be available for use. Please, find bellow:
