Description-en: script driven business graphics package
Ploticus is script-driven, which makes it suitable for automated,
unattended uses, or for applications that will be run again and again.
In general, ploticus is good at making graphs like you would see in
newspapers and news magazines, business publications, journals for
medical and social sciences, and so on.
.
Ploticus is not a function or mathematical plotting package like
gnuplot, nor would it be a good choice for applications where
mathematical formulas or scientific notations are to be rendered
as an integral part of the data display. Ploticus is also not
intended as a "marketing" graphics package. Its goal is to
display data crisply without extra decoration and distracting
"dingbats" that cloud the picture.
.
Ploticus supports a wide range of output options, including jpeg
(Joint Photographics Experts Group format), png (Portable Network
Graphics format), svg (Simple Vector Graphics), bmp (Microsoft BitMaP),
ps (PostScript), swf (Flash), and X11.
