About:
PLplot is a library of C functions that are useful for making scientific plots from programs written in C, C++, Fortran, Octave, Python, and Tcl/Tk. It can be used to create standard x-y plots, semi-log plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots, shade (gray-scale and color) plots, mesh plots, bar charts, and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph. Different line styles, widths, and colors are supported. A virtually infinite number of distinct area fill patterns may be used. There are almost 1,000 characters in the extended character set, including four different fonts, the Greek alphabet, and a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. The fonts can be scaled to any desired size. A variety of output devices and file formats are supported, including a metafile format which can be subsequently rendered to any device/file. New devices and file formats can be easily added by writing a driver routine.

[»] Source and binary rpm's for RedHat 7.1 released for PLplot 5.0.3
by Alan W. Irwin - May 16th 2001 22:41:21

Look for plplot-5.0.3-4.src.rpm and plplot-5.0.3-4.i386.rpm in the file release area of http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/. The RedHat 6.2 version of these rpm's are plplot-5.0.3-1.src.rpm and plplot-5.0.3-1.i386.rpm, but the RH 7.1 versions are much more complete. For more information see the detailed announcement at http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/2856/0/5770603/
