- can use LaTeX to display text and formulas
- animations
- Matrix or grid display
- ...
3D plots
- parametric surfaces
- 3D graphs z = f(x,y)
- interactive 3D rotation and zoom

An official standalone GUI for oplot: goplot

Examples

The top directory contains examples that can be run from the ocaml toplevel. See the README file.

Dependencies

For PDF output you need to install the fig2dev system package.
For LaTeX display you need a working LaTeX installation; for instance install the texlive system package.
For using the Gnu Scientific Library, install the gsl opam package:

opam install gsl

For rendering via the OCaml Graphics library (currently not recommended), you need to use the oplot-graphics opam package.
