Plplot

FLOOXS uses plplot to handle cross-platform plotting. There are two main kinds of plots: plotxd (1,2,3) and chart. The plotxd commands plot data that in on the finite element mesh while the chart command is a convenient xy plotter for things like I-V curves. The plotxd are also used for grid like plotting.

Under the hood plotxd commands are simply bindings that take finite element data and display it using plplot. The objects located in the src/plplot directory contain the machinery for accomplishing this.
