GLE Graphics Layout Engine - mklabgr - 09-10-2026

GLE (Graphics Layout Engine) is an open-source scripting language and graphics system designed for creating publication-quality scientific figures, plots, and diagrams. It is aimed especially at researchers, educators, and technical users who need precise control over graphical output. GLE can generate standard graphs as well as complex custom diagrams and includes mathematical and curve-fitting routines. It also provides a graphical interface for interactively editing figures while retaining the flexibility of script-based drawing. 

GLE supports a wide variety of output formats, including PDF, EPS, PostScript, SVG, JPEG, and PNG, making it suitable for papers, books, presentations, and websites. Its examples cover scatter and line plots, bar and polar charts, 3D and contour plots, electronic circuits, Feynman diagrams, fractals, and other technical illustrations. The software is freely available, distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license, and its source code and development are hosted on GitHub.
