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, Apple/OSX and GNU/Cygwin systems. 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.
This website provides the main source of information on obtaining, installing and programming with S2PLOT.
