$ urpmq -i gnuplot Name : gnuplot Version : 4.4.3 Release : 2.mga1 Group : Sciences/Other Size : 1454752 Architecture: x86_64 Source RPM : gnuplot-4.4.3-2.mga1.src.rpm URL : http://www.gnuplot.info/ Summary : A program for plotting mathematical expressions and data Description : Gnuplot is a command-line driven, interactive function plotting program especially suited for scientific data representation. Gnuplot can be used to plot functions and data points in both two and three dimensions and in many different formats. Install gnuplot if you need a graphics package for scientific data representation.
Important functions are currently included in the -doc package which has just been added as a hard require. In Mageia 2 those will be included in the gnuplot package itself.
In particular, /usr/share/gnuplot/4.4/PostScript/prologue.ps is needed for any postscript output.
Testing this exists during the current update, it should be confirmed to exist in Mageia 2 also, and for function.
