S2PLOT:About

From S2PLOT

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 systems. The S2PLOT architecture supports dynamic geometry and can be used to plot both static and time-evolving data sets. 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.
