Hi Tim and Marc, thanks for the quick answer. I have had a look at R; it reminds me of octave, but I didn't like octave because, again, the plotting engine is gnuplot.
Tim, I had a look at GMT but I then read "Thus, a complete GMT installation may take up around 200 Mb." and it scared me away. I know that includes the data sets etc but I didn't want to spend much time trying to udnerstand what would be too much for me or not... though I see *now* in openports.se that "Filesize: 8441.547 KB" .... oooops... sorry about that... anyway... R is looking promising, I have just started to produce some plots. I am wondering about the possibility of using TeX or something similar for the labels. Do you know how to do that? I have tried to look for a while but found nothing. Of course, this is not openbsd-related, so please answer me off-list. Thanks Pau PS: Still, a BSD-licensed programme like R or gnuplot seems not to exist, right? 2008/7/30 Tim Hume <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Pau, > > You might like to look at the Generic Mapping Tools: > > http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ > > GMT is a collection of UNIX utilities for making scientific plots (with a > particular focus on geophysics, but widely used elsewhere).
