Greetings, O Monks!

After much coding, I've converted the plotting script mentioned at 331133 into a full-fledged module. It's ready to go on CPAN, but it needs a good name.

I would like to call for help from the Monestary in naming this module. I think my module distinguishes itself from the existing plotting/graphing modules in the following ways:

• Data sets with unevenly-spaced x-data are handled trivially
• Residuals between two y-data sets can be calculated and plotted, regardless of whether they are plotted against the same x-data
• Errorbars can be specified, and are correctly calculated for the residuals, if applicable
• Log-lin, lin-log, and log-log plots can be created simply
• Plot data can be read in from a file, or fed in via arrays or PDL piddles.

In addition, there are standard axis- and title-labeling, line/point options, and other features one would expect in simple scienctific-style plots. It uses PDL and PGPLOT.pm under the hood.

I've been calling it Pdlplot, but I don't think that's a great name. Any suggestions, wise monks?

Kester
