Ploticus Tool

PLOTICUS is a free softwarere package for creating plots and charts.

Ploticus Extension

The Mediawiki Extension:Ploticus allows to embed Ploticus into a Mediawiki installation. When using the Ploticus Extension you have to deliver a script which contains the data on which the chart shall be based.

This is where DPL comes into the game: DPL can be used to extract that data from information contained in the articles of your wiki. For that purpose we made a small modification to the Ploticus Extension: Our modified version can take data not only from a hand-written script but also from the output of a DPL script.

Our version of the MediaWiki Ploticus Extension is contained in the Download Archive of DPL.
