Pgplot is a package developed at Caltech for the astrophysics
community.  A nice tool for doing publication quality graphics, if
someone wants to try a port (one attractive feature is that an
(unsupported) port to WindowsNT has been done).  My impression is that
the user community is larger and more active than for plplot, but I
could be wrong.  The perl5 front end and other links are at:
