Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for
Linux, Windows, macOS, OS/2, VMS, and other platforms.

It was originally created to allow scientists and students
to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many
non-interactive uses such as web scripting.
It is also used as a plotting engine by third-party applications like Octave.
