quickplot is an interactive 2D plotter. You can very quickly swim through data with quickplot. quickplot is GPL(v3) free software.

This source package contains HTML files, man pages and text files that document quickplot. The quickplot home page contains the latest quickplot documentation.

quickplot is a standard GNU Autotools built package run:

  ./configure
  make
  make install

or run:

  ./configure --help

for a long list of configuration options. See instructions below for how to build and install from git repository source code.

See http://quickplot.sourceforge.net/about.html for Installation prerequisites and other details.

If you are building quickplot from the GitHub repository source files, when you run configure you must use the --enable-developer option to enable the building of addition files that are in tarball distributions, but not in the git repository. For example run:

  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --prefix /home/joe/installed/encap/quickplot \
    --enable-developer  --enable-debug
  make -j5
  make install

There is another optional quickplot package for development and testing the quickplot source code. Test/junk programs in this package do things like: display the default quickplot point and line colors in one window, or stupid things like read and print "NAN" as a double; just so developers know. You can get this "quickplot_tests" package by:

  svn co\
    https://quickplot.svn.sf.net/svnroot/quickplot/quickplot_tests\
    quickplot_tests

Running the above line will make the directory quickplot_tests in the current directory.

• Add configure option --enable-developer=auto to be the default.
• Add middle mouse wheel zooming, like in google maps.
