This document describes the OCaml bindings to the PLplot technical plotting software, how to obtain the necessary software components and how to use them together.

Overview

The OCaml bindings for PLplot provide a way for OCaml programmers to access the powerful PLplot technical plotting facilities directly from OCaml programs while working completely in OCaml—the OCaml programmer never needs to know or worry that PLplot itself is written in another language.
