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). The latest version of S2PLOT is the first to be released through the GNU GPL
Announcement: Version 3.1 Release Candidate 1 is now available for download and testing (September 2012).
