I needed/wanted a tool to produce publication quality graphs. Gnuplot is great, and I have used it in the past, to make tide graphs. In my experience, controls of the details of the graph were less accessible to me, and the graphs I produced were pretty rough edged. GRI has worked very well for me for monthly tide graph calendars, with good control of parameters. GNUPLOT is fantastic for quick, and what I felt were rough and ready plots. GRI is easily installed on Ubuntu installs, and a gri mode for emacs makes it easier. I will try the suggestions you made to work out a babel solution for gri pl= ots. Thanks for the suggestions, Alan
