I'm not sure what to say--just type PLplot into Google and the top hit
is "PLplot Home Page." Just in case, the link is http://plplot.sourceforge.net/.

If you try PLplot for Ada, let me know your impression. I've never
really announced the availability of the Ada binding and the PLplot
team officially considers the Ada binding to be "experimental" but
mainly because I haven't converted all 28 of their examples from C to
Ada, only a few. They sort of consider the ability to run all of the
examples as a good test of a binding.
