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 [http://www.opengl.org 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. <center> <b><font size=+1 color=red>Announcement:</font> Version 3.2.1 is now available for [[S2PLOT:Download | download and testing]] (November 2012).</b> <br>This latest version of S2PLOT is the first to be released through the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU GPL], and needs to be compiled on your local system. <br>Please follow all instructions in the INSTALL.TXT file that accompanies the source distribution.<br> <b><font size=+1 color=red>Announcement:</font></b> Thank you to Tom Marsh for providing updated Python wrappers.
