Happy ten thousandth anniversary to PLplot!

By oscarruitt at Mon, Jun 1 2009 10:42pm |

PLplot (seehttp://plplot.sourceforge.net) is a cross-platform software package for creating scientific plots that has been in continuous development since its inception 17 years ago. On May 23, 2009 the PLplot developers quietly celebrated our ten thousandth commit since our initial software repository was populated back in May 1992.

The there are multiple OS X users among the developers and the Mac is a first-class citizen in the PLplot world.

This longevity puts PLplot in some select company amongst open-source software projects. We may even be unique within this group because all PLplot development has been done by volunteers in their spare time.

The enthusiasm for PLplot development continues; we have averaged more than 100 commits per month over the last year which is double our 17-year average, and we are looking forward to the celebration of our next ten thousand commits!

How come the link isn't

How come the link isn't enabled? It's odd having to copy and paste it into my address bar.

Example of an application?

Is there an example of a Cocoa application using PLplot?
