S2PLOT: A Three-Dimensional Plotting Library

S2PLOT is an advanced three-dimensional plotting library with support for standard and enhanced display devices. The S2PLOT library was written in C and can be used with C, C++ and FORTRAN programs on GNU/Linux and Apple/OSX. The S2PLOT architecture supports dynamic geometry and can be used to plot both static and time-evolving data sets. S2PLOT is based on the OpenGL graphics library.

With a programming interface inspired by PGPLOT, S2PLOT provides researchers with elegant techniques for displaying and interactively exploring 3D data sets directly from their program code.

Announcement: Version 3.2.1 is now available for download and testing (November 2012).
This latest version of S2PLOT is the first to be released through the GNU GPL, and needs to be compiled on your local system.
Please follow all instructions in the INSTALL.TXT file that accompanies the source distribution.
Announcement: Thank you to Tom Marsh for providing updated Python wrappers. (March 2014)
You can access these on: github.
Sample code: How to create and display spherical coordinate grids.
Howto: How to embed S2PLOT visualisations in PDF Documents and on the Web with Flash.
