Description

Xgfe is a GUI front end to the Gnuplot plotting package. It is currently runs under Linux, is written in C++, and uses the Qt v1.31 widget set.

Xgfe is not intended to support every option of Gnuplot, but it is very useful for cranking out a quick plot and generally making your life with Gnuplot much easier. Xgfe does offer the ability to type commands directly to Gnuplot so its full capabilites are available through the GUI. See the features page for a full listing.

Xgfe was developed and tested with Gnuplot version 3.5. Xgfe communicates with Gnuplot via a named pipe so it should work with other versions also. Xgfe will not require recompiling for newer versions of Gnuplot as long as the commands remain consistent. All communication with Gnuplot is contained within the gnuInterface class which contains no GUI code, so if you want to develop your own GUI feel free to pilfer my class file and have fun. Xgfe is GPL'd software for your enjoyment.

Xgfe has currently been tested with:

If someone is willing to build and contribute a RPM, dpkg, or other installable package let me know so I can include a link to it. If you are able to make it run on other platforms let me know so I can include the information above.
