... or maybe a polished-up version of an old toy: aplplot, which I wrote
several years ago.
Aplplot uses the plplot package to produce plots in a number of
formats: standard x-y, polar, and 3D projection at the moment, and more
can be added later. It can put the plot on your screen or dump it to
file in a variety of formats. If you're using aplwrap, it can embed the
plot in the aplwrap window.
Originally, the plot options were set by a string left argument
containing keywords and values:
'bgwhite;xcol 1; tlabel "Lissajous axis 1"' plot ⍉2
128⍴(1○2×(⍳128)÷6),2○(⍳128)÷6
That hasn't been precisely ideal so version 2.0 has a menu interface,
which makes it a lot easier to use:
'menu' plot ⍉2 128⍴(1○2×(⍳128)÷6),2○(⍳128)÷6
brings up a GTK-based menu that lets you set all the various parameters.
(The string i/f is still there, which can be handy for doing things like:
apl --LX "'libaplplot.so' ⎕FX 'plot'" --eval "' file sine.png;
tlabel Sine' plot 2○(⍳128)÷6"
which will create a PNG file showing a bit of sine curve.)
Anyway, it's at:

if anyone wants to play with it. There's a bit of a description in the
README and some examples at:

Have fun,
