Re: 3-D graphing software for Linux?
Have a look on this website
http://www.scilab.org/
This is scilab, designed in France. It is a numerical tool (and seldom
symbolic), so it means that was done for high computing capabilities.
After installing, you will have a command line as in any console;
there you can type the corresponding instruction (like MatLab, don't
know if you have seen it).
e.g. > 2+3
5
> sin(%pi/2)
1
In scilab, almost all is a matrix, or vector, so if you type
> t=[3;2;1]
it mean that t is a 3 rows, 1 column vector, but if you type
> t=[3,2,1]
with commas means t is a 1 row, 3 columns vector.
You can apply math equations to matrices. So
F=sin(t)
returns a vector F with values corresponding to sin for each element.
If you need to plot one against each other, just do
>plot2d(t,F)
if you have 3 vectors (all same length), just do
>plot3d(t,F,G)
Scilab is plenty of options, let us know if you need more help.
Kind regards,
