The GNU plotutils package contains programs for plotting scientific data, and a function library for drawing vector graphics and doing vector graphics animations. The package includes: * GNU graph, which does two-dimensional plotting in real time. It's designed for command-line use, and can be used in shell scripts. It produces output on an X Window System display, in Illustrator format, in Postscript format, in PCL 5 format, in HP-GL/2 format, in Fig format (editable with the xfig drawing editor), in Tektronix format, or in GNU Metafile format. Output in Postscript format may be edited with the idraw drawing editor. * GNU plot, which translates GNU Metafile format to any of the other formats. * GNU tek2plot, for translating legacy Tektronix data to any of the above formats. * GNU plotfont, for displaying character maps of the fonts that are available in the above formats. * GNU spline, which does spline interpolation of data. * GNU ode, which numerically integrates a system consisting of one or more ordinary differential equations. The programs graph, plot, tek2plot, and plotfont are based on GNU libplot, a C function library for device-independent two-dimensional vector graphics. GNU libplot is compatible with the traditional Unix libplot library, but is much more powerful. It is installed as part of the package.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
