3 Extensions of Gnuplot’s Interface

A large number of new functions are available in PyXPlot which were not originally present in gnuplot. This chapter describes these extensions. From here onwards I shall presume that the user is familiar with the basic operation of gnuplot, and shall concentrate on the differences between PyXPlot’s interface and that of gnuplot. In addition to having read the previous chapter, novice users may also find it of use to consult one of the many gnuplot tutorials which are to be found on the web before proceeding.
