Ploticus is script-driven, which makes it suitable for automated, unattended
|
||
|
|
uses, or for applications that will be run again and again. Ploticus might be
|
||
|
|
your choice for stylistic reasons or just because it suits the problem or
|
||
|
|
application. 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use Ploticus in combination with standard desktop tools, e.g.
|
||
|
|
generate data displays using ploticus then import SVG or PNG into PowerPoint,
|
||
|
|
Word, etc.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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. Thus there is little support for 3-D
|
||
|
|
effects, gradient backgrounds, and so on.
