5.4.10_3mathΣ=60 5.4.10_3Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.upstream: 6.0.6A newer version was found upstream by portscout, first on 2026-10-26.
Gnuplot is a portable multi-platform command-line driven graphing utility. It
was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize
mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many
non-interactive uses such as web scripting. It is also used as a plotting engine
by third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under
active development since 1986.
Gnuplot supports many types of plots in either 2D or 3D. It can draw using
lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated
text. It also supports various specialized plot types. Gnuplot supports many
different types of output: interactive screen terminals (with mouse and hotkey
input), direct output to pen plotters or modern printers, and output to many
file formats (eps, emf, fig, jpeg, LaTeX, pdf, png, postscript, ...). Gnuplot is
easily extensible to include new output modes. Recent additions include
interactive terminals based on wxWidgets (usable on multiple platforms), and Qt.
Mouseable plots embedded in web pages can be generated using the svg or HTML5
canvas terminal drivers.

GRIDBOX=off: Use the gridbox optimization for hidden3d
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
. Simplify (and fix) WX support by using WX_CONF_ARGS. The prior version
was broken due to use of WXCONFIG (should have been WX_CONFIG)
Pointed out by: bf <bf2006a@yahoo.com>
. Optional WX support. I don't have it installed, so this is untested.
Reports welcome. Based on the changes in the PR, but tweaked based on
the WX section in the Porter's handbook.

. Since we're depending on teTeX-base anyway, add --with-kpsexpand to
CONFIGURE_ARGS.
. Add support for plotutils.
This is based on the diffs in the referenced PR, but is done somewhat
differently and the merge isn't complete (yet).

. Update to 4.2.0. This is an initial update I've been working on which
is a little more stripped down than the port has previously been.
The extras from PR/111548 will be merged in shortly.

. Fix the location of the bsd.port.pre.mk include.
. Install the elisp files in the correct location.

- Fix possibility of "infinite make fork" when "Registering install for ..."
EMACS ports. [1]
- Allow building a port as root using an NFS-mounted /usr/ports if the
server maps root to a UID other than root. [2]
- Make 'BROKEN' and 'IGNORED' ports exit their "make install" with a fail
status rather than success. [3]
- Improve behavior when dealing with versioned dependencies. [4]
- Fix false positives in check-conflicts target. [5]
- Remove obsolete bzip2 code. [6]

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
. Don't generate the .texi documentation files. They already exist in
the distribution and the doc2texi.el seems to cause problems for some
versions of emacs (e.g. xemacs).
Problem report and testing by: Tobias Roth <ports@fsck.ch>
. Add support for stacked histograms (off by default).
. Add readline support (on by default). This is done a little differently
from the submitter's patch (the support is optional).

. Sort OPTIONS and the associated sections that deal with them.
. Add a GD option that compile gd support into gnuplot.
Prompted by: Chris Burkert <chris@chrisburkert.de>
. Chase print/pdflib updates. While this change fixes compilation and is
my best guess at what needs to happen so far, PDF file generation
currently appears broken.
. Workaround a problem in gcc 2.95.4 when compiling with -march=pentiumpro.
Based on a patch from the submitter.

. Take maintainership of this port. I've done the last two upgrades and
closed a number of related PRs, so I think I've demonstrated enough
interest in maintaining it :).
Remove chuckr as maintainer of his ports. He has not committed since
09/2000 and has been unresponsive to mail about his ports for at least
2 years.
Approved by: portmgr
1. Place gnuplot.gih in ${DATADIR} rather than ${PREFIX}/share (the
correct way, by modifying CONFIGURE_ARGS, rather than the bogus
way previously done in post-install).
2. Update to use the new version of pdflib (and bump PORTREVISION
to reflect this).
3. Info files are included even when NOPORTDOCS is set, and gnuplot.gih
definitely should be (mea culpa for these two).

[1] PR/46757 was mostly addressed in rev 1.10 of pkg-plist, with some
clean up occuring in this commit.
. Forced commit to note that the last commit also addressed PR/49952
(in a slightly different way that the PR).

. Add a knob to allow compilation without PNG support.
. Add a similar knob which introduces (optional) PDFlib support.

(1) Remove dependency on and support for linking with gd. Gnuplot is only
interested in gd for making gifs. gd hasn't done this since around
version 1.4 IIRC (we're now at 1.8.4).
(2) Detect libpng correctly (this is fixed slightly differently than the PR).

Change is essentially as per the PRs but with an added necessary package
