For us, gnuplot and xmgrace were two of the most important command line tools during physics education, esp. in computational physics. Often piping freshly simulated data right into one of both for quick visualization.
- kergonath 6y agoI still use gnuplot for publication-quality graphs, when I can’t be arsed to use R. It’s also still very useful to generate on-the-fly plots to help sifting through large numbers of datasets. The last steps of my simulations is usually to generate a graph showing critical parameters to make sure it makes sense at a glance. Much easier than eyeballing number tables. Gnuplot is perfect for this: it is very fast and lightweight.
