  • Wrangling Data Vizualization with Gnuplot 4.6

    Updated: 2012-03-29 18:51:12
    Let's face it: everybody likes having data, but nobody likes staring at a column of numbers. If you cannot sculpt your raw data into a visualization that either illuminates the problem or helps you find the solution, then you're only halfway done. Luckily there are tools like Gnuplot available, which allow you to manually or automatically generate high-quality visual representations of your data sets. The new release, 4.6, adds some important features from a mathematical standpoint — and just as importantly, many updates to the output framework, including support for generating interactive HTML5 displays.
