gle - Graphics Layout Engine
gle [options] file.gle ...
GLE (Graphics Layout Engine) is a graphics scripting language
designed for creating publication quality graphs, plots, diagrams, figures
and slides. GLE supports various graph types (function plots, histograms,
bar graphs, scatter plots, contour lines, color maps, surface plots, ...)
through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More complex output
can be created by relying on GLE's scripting language, which is full
featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control. GLE relies on LaTeX
for text output and supports mathematical formulea in graphs and figures.
GLE's output formats include EPS, PS, PDF, JPEG, and PNG.
GLE's documentation is distrubuted in PDF format and can be found
at the GLE website:
