It can plot many types of 2d plots, including pixmaps +and contours, and 3d surfaces. It offers a full WYSIWYG mode with +multiple objects on a single page. + +As opposite to Gnuplot, +.B KMatplot is very clickable, so easier to use for unexperienced users. +It can be used instead of Gnuplot with Octave and Scilab (although the +Debian package is not built with Scilab support by default) - there are +new dll functions installed in those packages, which communicate with +.B KMatplot +through a Unix socket. Those functions are named 'kplot', 'kimage', +kmesh', and are similar to those found in Octave by default. + +Example plots can be found in the Help menu of the program. Help for +many of the Octave functions can be found within Octave, for example: +"help kplot", "help kaddaxes". + +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Hugo van der Merwe <hvdm@debian.org>, +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
