Gnuplot GUI for Ubuntu 10.10

Question

Is there a Gnuplot GUI (equivalent to wgnuplot.exe) for Ubuntu ?

Answer 1

Have you tried:

• PlotDrop is available through Ubuntu Software Center
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/jgp/- Java, so should be compatible
• http://linux.softpedia.com/downloadTag/Gnuplot+GUI others

The second two will probably have to be compiled from source, but that isn't too difficult. The basic steps are:

• Extract the source
• Read the README (should include installation instructions)
• Find a configure script (ofter configure or configure.sh) and run it
  • Usually these create a make file
  • If there isn't a configure script, move to the next
• type make
• type make install

If you make doesn't work, then maybe there's a cmake file. Try:

cmake .
