PLplot-5.15.0 has been released

Happy ten thousandth anniversary to PLplot!

PLplot (see http://plplot.sourceforge.net\) is a cross-platform software package for creating scientific plots that has been in continuous development since its inception 17 years ago. On May 23, 2009 the PLplot developers quietly celebrated our ten thousandth commit since our initial software repository was populated back in May 1992.

This longevity puts PLplot in some select company amongst open-source software projects. We may even be unique within this group because all PLplot development has been done by volunteers in their spare time.... read more

PLplot Release 5.7.4

Warning: This release does not contain the deprecated autotools build system (i.e. ./configure won't work). As this system is deprecated we encourage users to migrate to the new cmake build system. However, this removal was accidental and the autotools build system will be available in future releases (at least for a while).

efforts of the community to improve the PLplot plotting package. Development
releases in the 5.7.x series will be available every few months. The next full
