Dear shrub-makers, if you are want to plot networks (fx. genetic networks) I can recommend Cytoscape: http://cytoscape.org/ (some kind of openware).
The in-syntax is clean: node1 linktype1 node2 node2 linktype1 node3 node3 linktype2 node1 etc. But in general you are going to want to change the layout of the network after it is plotted. If you are into genetic networks it has a number of built-in stuff. (For 2D-plots (demand vs time) cytoscape is not an option.) I also recommend gnuplot (like everyone else) for making the standard y-axis, x-axis 2D-plots. It takes some time to learn syntax, but if I remember correctly it is pretty simple. /Per Then when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest...wiiiith *pause* a herring! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
