By 'language' +I mean that it is a command-driven application, as opposed to a +click/point application. It is analogous to latex or tex, and shares +the property that extensive power is the reward for tolerating a +learning curve. Gri output is in PostScript, suitable for +incorporation in documents prepared by various text processors. + +Gri can make x-y graphs, contour-graphs, and image graphs. In +addition to high-level capabilities, it has enough low-level +capabilities to allow users to achieve a high degree of customization. +Control is extended to all aspects of drawing, including +line widths, colors, and fonts. Text includes a subset of the tex +language for letters and mathematical symbols in labels. |
