FAQ

How are my plots generated?

All plotting capabilities of sciplot are powered by gnuplot. Your plotting code, using a modern and elegant C++ API provided by sciplot, is converted to a gnuplot script, which is then executed to generate the desired figure. Note that gnuplot 4.2+ is needed for multiplots, but a version higher than 5.4.1 is recommended.
