Veusz is a scientific plotting package. It is designed to produce publication-ready PDF or SVG output. Graphs are built-up by combining plotting widgets. The user interface aims to be simple, consistent and powerful.

Veusz provides GUI, Python module, command line, scripting, DBUS and SAMP interfaces to its plotting facilities. It also allows for manipulation and editing of datasets. Data can be captured from external sources such as Internet sockets or other programs.

Changes in 3.2.1

  • Fix too large page size in SVG export
  • Reenable compression for PNG export
  • Fix crash in HDF5 import dialog
  • If filename extension is missing in export dialog, add it and avoid crash
  • Take account of QT_LIBINFIX setting for unusual Qt installs
  • Add \wtilde text command to place a tilde over text
