the
LGPL license. It is written in standard ANSI C and has bindings for Fortran 90/95/2003.
Devices currently supported by giza are: the X Window system, PDF,
PostScript, eps, png and svg.
Giza also provides a drop-in, modern replacement for the PGPLOT graphics library (libpgplot and libcpgplot). Current status of the PGPLOT interface here.
