-gnuplot for Debian
-==================
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-The full documentation including all examples, the info-pages and a
-tutorial has been split off to a separate gnuplot-doc package.
-
-You can also find useful information on the following websites:
-
-- the original FAQ:
-
-    http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/faq/faq.html
-
-- not so Frequently Asked Questions:
-
-    http://t16web.lanl.gov/Kawano/gnuplot/index-e.html
-
-- Tutorial (in german)
-
-    http://www.we.fh-osnabrueck.de/fbwe/vorlesung/edv2/gplot/gplot.html
-
-- collection of websites with gnuplot-help/more tutorials
-
-    http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/help.html
-
-
-SVGAlib
--------
-
-I've dropped the svgalib-support for the following reasons:
-
-a) the SUID-bit has to be set which is a security risk
-b) the dependency on both svgalib and svgalib-dummy has to be crudely
-   hacked into the package
-c) all these tricks only have to be done to support graphics no one
-   uses on only one architecture :-(
-d) even upstream decided to disable svgalib by default
-
-
-libreadline
------------
-
-Yes, the built in readline of gnuplot is bad. However, libreadline
-cannot be used instead because it is licensed under the GPL, whereas
-gnuplot has special licenses (patches only). Distribution of those
-programs linked together is legally impossible but you may rebuild
-your own custom package with readline. Please don't file bugs telling
-me to use libreadline in gnuplot...
-
-Interfaces to other languages
------------------------------
-
-If you want to send gnuplot commands from inside your program, the
-following packages may help you (Beware: I haven't tested them!):
-
-Available as Debian package:
-
-  python-gnuplot
-
-Not available as Debian package:
-
-  interface to ANSI C: http://ndevilla.free.fr/gnuplot/
-
-Feel free to send me more information to be included in this place!
