EpsTk stands for "Encapsulated PostSript Toolkit". It simply consist of pure M-files (Octave or MATLAB script files), which creates powerful 2D scientific graphics. So the toolkit runs on all computers where Octave or MATLAB runs too. The generated output are EPS-files, which are excellent for printing, viewing and importing to further applications.

History

The Toolkit was written by Stefan Müller of FGAN-FHR (a German research institute) in 1997. He needed graphical output functions which are running with Octave and Matlab (R). He released his kit under the GPL. In 1999, EpsTk became a part of Debian distributions.

Features

EpsTk creates the most scientific graphics with plots, bitmaps and text. Also, you can import other graphic sources in form of a bitmap or a EPS-file.
