Plot2D is an open source computer program for producing 2D plots of multiple series from numeric data files. It operates under Unix, Linux, and Win32 systems. It runs using a Command line interface. It also has a Windows GUI.
It plots multiple data series from ASCII text files with numeric data directly to a bitmap (BMP file format) file (using Run-length encoding compression). It is written using C and C++ source code. Plot2D can be configured via Command-line arguments or using an ASCII option file.

Usage examples
[edit]All the options for running the program are listed.
plot2d -h
Generate a default options file.
plot2d -c plot2d_options.txt
Generate the plot using the easy to use option file.
plot2d -f plot2d_options.txt
The program will plot the first column vs the second column or the first column vs the sample index if there is only one column.
plot2d data.txt
Plot column 1 vs column 3.
plot2d data.txt 1 3
Plot column 1 vs 2, 1 vs 3, and 1 vs 4.
plot2d data.txt 1 2 1 3 1 4
Plot with lots of command line options.
plot2d data.txt 1 2 -xlim -10 10 -ylim -1 1 -title "The Title" -xlabel "Time (s)" -ylabel "Voltage (V)"
Plot columns 1 vs 2 and 1 vs 3 of a comma delimited file. The program automatically determines the comma delimiter.
plot2d data.csv 1 2 1 3 -title "A comma delimited file with 2 series"
