EpsTk

EpsTk stands for "Encapsulated PostSript Toolkit". The codebase consists of pure M-Files (Octave or MATLAB script files), which May Be used to create most standard 2D scientific graphics (line charts, bar charts, polar plots, contour plots, etc.). The M-files write EPS files.

History

The Toolkit was created in 1997 by Stefan Müller of FGAN-FHR (a German research institute) who needed graphical output functions that could run on both Octave and Matlab. He released his kit under the GPL. In 1999, EpsTk became a part of Debian distributions.

Features

EpsTk creates the most scientific graphics with plots, bitmaps and text. Also, you can import other graphic sources in form of a bitmap or a EPS-file. The following is the third (of eighteen in version 2.2) demo image.
