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
