Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce the Gnuplot program to students and teach them to use this flexible, universal and free tool to produce various graphs and images from data. This capability can then be applied within other courses where they need to produce graphs and images from data (practical classes, etc.) and also later in applied research.
