Hi all,

I'm glad to announce the first public release of the Lua Graphics
Toolkit, a Lua module to create plots, graphics and animations. The
module was previously available in GSL Shell and is now decoupled from
its parent project and can be used as an ordinary Lua module,
available for both Windows and Linux

The project is hosted at github :

https://github.com/franko/graph-toolkit

and a first version of the user manual is already online:

http://franko.github.io/graph-toolkit/

The software can be compiled on Linux simply by installing the
relevant libraries and a debian package is also available from the
release page:

https://github.com/franko/graph-toolkit/releases

The page includes also a binary package from Windows bundled with the
luajit executable itself.

A very few examples are present in the git repository here:

https://github.com/franko/graph-toolkit/tree/master/examples

but for the moment they illustrate only a fraction of the capability
of the module.

I'm also planning to evolve the architecture of the software to
improve the modularity and remove some limitations. For the moment
I've made a first release with the current architecture since the
software is already quite mature and useful.

In any case I hope that other people can find it useful for other
projects or even just to easily plots data or functions. I hope also
that, by making the module independent from gsl shell, its user base
will increase and its development gain more traction.

I'm also sure that the LuaJIT mailing list community will give me a
precious feedback to improve the software :-)

Enjoy
Francesco
