MathGL is a library for making high-quality scientific graphics under Linux and Windows, fast data plotting and handling of large data arrays, working in window and console modes, and easily embedding into other programs. It has more than 40 general types of graphics for 1d, 2d, and 3d data arrays. It can export graphics to raster and vector (EPS or SVG) formats. It has an OpenGL interface and can be used from console programs. It has functions for data handling and MGL language scripting for simplification of data plotting. It has several types of transparency and smoothed lightning, vector fonts and TeX-like formula drawing, an arbitrary curvilinear coordinate system, and many other useful things.
Release Notes: Improved export in EPS and SVG. A new MGL parser for handling an expression as an argument. The function Window() can have NULL-function (draw bitmap, which is useful for Fortran). New plots: Traj(), ContD(), Radar(), Flow(mglPoint p, etc.). A function for predefined curvilinear coordinates. A function for indirect data access. A function for manual setting of ticks/subticks line style. Manual colors for multiple curves (palette) directly in function style. Improved ticks drawing if RotatedText=false. Selectable base type for floating point numbers (double or float). Other minor features and bugfixes.
