SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       GLE  (Graphics Layout Engine) is a graphics scripting language designed
13       for creating publication quality graphs, plots, diagrams,  figures  and
14       slides.  GLE  supports various graph types (function plots, histograms,
15       bar graphs, scatter plots, contour lines, color  maps,  surface  plots,
16       ...)  through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More com‐
17       plex output can be created by  relying  on  GLE's  scripting  language,
18       which  is full featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control.
19       GLE relies on LaTeX for text output and supports mathematical  formulea
20       in graphs and figures. GLE's output formats include EPS, PS, PDF, JPEG,
21       and PNG.
