CTAN has a new package: numericplots
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: NumericPlots Version number: 0.9 Author's name: Thomas Koenig, Alexander Michel Location on CTAN: /graphics/numericplots Summary description: package to plot numeric data using pstricks (including Matlab export) License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with an external program. The pstricks-packages provide very many commands to generate graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the pstricks-package to plot numeric data. Additionally, it contains some Matlab functions to export such numeric data from Matlab for easy plotting of Matlab data in LaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/numericplots . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/numericplots (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
