Welcome to the NeXTSTEP Front End for gnuplot, a general purpose
graphing and plotting application capable of plotting mathematical
expressions or data from a file, in 2 or 3 dimensions.  This
application is entirely self-contained and requires no prior
installation or knowledge of gnuplot.  Here's how much space you'll
need:

		882 KB	installed application
		125 KB	sample documents (optional)
		 13 KB	Workspace contents inspector (optional)
	       2193 KB	complete application source code (optional)

This version supports more gnuplot features than previous versions and
fixes many bugs.  It is also based on the latest version of gnuplot, 3.4.

Gnuplot.app adds NeXTSTEP features to gnuplot, taking advantage of
services, drag-n-drop, standard font and print panels, inspectors, and
interactive help.  None of the original gnuplot source was changed for
this app (aside from the minor changes of renaming main() and adding a
custom terminal type), so the app can also be run from the command
line just as you would run the original command-line gnuplot -- there
is no need to install two versions of gnuplot.

The file package should have unpacked into a folder called Gnuplot
which contains the following:


README		-- This file

GnuplotSource	-- The source code for the application

Samples		-- Some sample documents for the NeXTSTEP app

WMInspector	-- The source code for the Gnuplot Workspace inspector.

Unused		-- Many of the files distributed with gnuplot 3.4 are
		   not needed for building the NeXTSTEP app, but they
		   are included here for completeness.  Gnuplot
		   documentation and supporting files that do NOT
		   pertain directly to this app are here as well.




	The gnuplot front end is provided in hope that it will be
useful for something and with absolutely no warranty of any kind.
