July 2020, "Staff Pick" Project of the Month – gnuplot

For our July "Staff Pick" Project of the Month, we chose gnuplot, a portable, multi-platform, command-line driven graphing utility.

Gnuplot is an open source scientific plotting package that has been around for over 30 years, and yet still remains one of the most reliable and popular open source portable command-line driven graphing utilities. It supports many different types of 2D and 3D plots, as well as many different types of output.

Today in Tech

On this day in 1928, the German Army introduced their own exclusive version of the Enigma machine, an encryption device originally invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius for commercial markets. The Enigma machine could take plain text and turn it into encoded ciphertext, which could then be decoded by another Enigma machine. Nazi Germany used these machines extensively during World War II to transmit battle plans and other secret information, but the code was eventually deciphered by British codebreakers.
