'''Graphics Layout Engine''' (GLE) is a [[graphic]]s [[scripting language]] designed for creating publication quality [[graph]]s, plots, [[diagram]]s, figures and slides. GLE supports various graph types such as function plots, [[histogram]]s, [[bar chart|bar graph]]s, [[scatterplot|scatter plot]]s, [[contour line]]s, color maps and surface plots through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More complex output can be created by relying on GLE's scripting language, which is full featured with [[subroutine]]s, [[variable]]s, and [[logic control]]. GLE relies on [[LaTeX]] for text output and supports mathematical formula in graphs and figures. GLE's output formats include [[Encapsulated PostScript|EPS]], [[Adobe Photoshop|PS]], [[Portable Document Format|PDF]], [[JPEG]], and [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]]. GLE is licensed under the [[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]] license. QGLE, the GLE user interface, is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]] license.
