NAME

       gle - Graphics Layout Engine

SYNOPSIS

       gle [options] file.gle ...

DESCRIPTION

       GLE  (Graphics Layout Engine) is a graphics scripting language designed
       for creating publication quality graphs, plots, diagrams,  figures  and
       slides.  GLE  supports various graph types (function plots, histograms,
       bar graphs, scatter plots, contour lines, color  maps,  surface  plots,
       ...)  through  a  simple  but  flexible  set of graphing commands. More
       complex output can be created by relying on GLE’s  scripting  language,
       which  is full featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control.
       GLE relies on LaTeX for text output and supports mathematical  formulea
       in graphs and figures. GLE’s output formats include EPS, PS, PDF, JPEG,
       and PNG.

DOCUMENTATION

       GLE’s documentation is distrubuted in PDF format and can  be  found  at
