From the Back Cover:

Gnuplot is an open source graphics program that helps you analyze, interpret, and present numerical data. Available for Unix, Mac, and Windows, it is well-maintained, mature, and totally free.

Gnuplot in Action is a comprehensive tutorial written for all gnuplot users: data analysts, computer professionals, scientists, researchers, and others. It shows how to apply gnuplot to data analysis problems. It gets into tricky and poorly documented areas. You’ll quickly move from basic charts to advanced graphics, mastering powerful techniques like multi-dimensional and false-color plots. You’ll also learn scripting techniques for unattended batch jobs or how to use gnuplot to generate web graphics on demand.

This book does not require programming skills, nor previous knowledge of gnuplot.
