Pdl::graphics::gnuplot allows pdl data to be plotted using gnuplot as a backend for 2d and 3d plotting and image display.

it is not necessary to understand the gnuplot syntax to generate basic, or even complex, plots - though the full syntax is available for advanced users who want the full flexibility of the gnuplot backend.

gnuplot recognizes both hard-copy and interactive plotting devices, and on interactive devices (like x11) it is possible to pan, scale, and rotate both 2-d and 3-d plots interactively. you can also enter graphical data through mouse clicks on the device window.
