+MathGL - library for scientific data visualization.
+
+MathGL is a library for making high-quality scientific graphics under
+Linux and Windows. It is useful for fast data plotting and data proc-
+essing of large data arrays. Supports working in window and console
+modes and for easy embedding into other programs. Has a large and
+still growing set of graphics.
+
+It can be compiled with several different options, however, since with
+basic Slackware installation most of them are already present, only
+three optional configuration flags are present, and represent optional
+dependencies: GSL -- GNU Scientific Library, GNU Octave (a Matlab
+clone) and openmpi, all of which are accessible on slackbuilds.org.
+
+GSL=yes (for GSL support, needs gsl)
+OCTAVE=yes (for Octave support, needs octave)
+OPENMPI=yes (for Open MPI support, needs openmpi)
+
+add the ones needed when launching the slackbuilds, like
+
+ GSL=yes OCTAVE=yes ./mathgl.SlackBuild
