+# Gnuplot.jl
+## A Julia interface to Gnuplot.
+---
+
+The **Gnuplot.jl** package allows easy and fast use of [`gnuplot`](http://gnuplot.info/) as a data visualization tool in Julia.  Have a look at [Basic usage](@ref) and [Examples](@ref) for a quick overview.  The package main features are:
+
+- fast time-to-first-plot (~1 sec);
+
+- extremely concise yet meaningful syntax, makes it ideal for interactive data exploration;
+
+- no need to learn new API functions or keywords: only two macros (`@gp` for 2D plots, `@gsp` for 3D plots) and a basic knowledge of `gnuplot` are enough to generate the most complex plots;
+
+- transparent interface between Julia and `gnuplot` to exploit all functionalities of the latter, both present and future ones;
+
+- fast data transmission through system pipes (no temporary files involved);
+
+- availability of all the palettes from [ColorSchemes](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/ColorSchemes.jl);
+
+- support for multiple plots in one window, mulitple plotting windows, as well as ASCII and Sixel plots (to plot directly in a terminal);
+
+- support for histograms (both 1D and 2D);
+
+- enhanced support for contour plots;
+
+- export to a huge number of formats such as `pdf`, `png`, ``\LaTeX``, `svg`, etc. (actually all those supported by `gnuplot`);
+
+- save sessions into `gnuplot` scripts enables easy plot reproducibility and modfications.
+
+---
+## Yet another plotting package?
+
+A powerful plottig framework is among the most important tool in the toolbox of any modern scientist and engineer. As such, it is hard to find a single package to fit all needs, and many solutions are indeed available in the Julia [ecosystem](https://github.com/JuliaPlots).
+
+**Gnuplot.jl** package fills the niche of users who needs:
+1. publication-quality plots, by exploiting the capabilities of a widely used tool such as `gnuplot`, and its many output formats available;
+1. a well-documented framework, by taking advantage of all the `gnuplot` documentation, tutorials and examples available on the web;
+1. a fast response, by relying on an external program (rather than on a large Julia code base);
+1. an interactive data exploration framework, by exposing a carefully designed, extremely concise and easy to remember syntax (at least for users with minimal `gnuplot` knowledge);
+1. a procedure to foster plot reproducibility by sharing just the data and commands in the form of `gnuplot` scripts, rather than the original Julia code.
+
+Unlike other packages **Gnuplot.jl** is not a pure Julia solution as it depends on an external package to actually generate plots.  However, if `gnuplot` is not available on a given platform, the package could still be used in "*dry*" mode, and no error for a missing dependency will be raised (see [Dry sessions](@ref)).
+
+The **Gnuplot.jl** package development follows a minimalistic approach: it is essentially a thin layer to send data and string commands to `gnuplot`.  This way all underlying capabilities, both present and future ones, are automatically exposed to Julia user, with no need to implement dedicated wrappers.
+
+The functionalities 1, 2 and 3 listed above are similar to those provided by the [Gaston](https://github.com/mbaz/Gaston.jl) package.  **Gnuplot.jl** also provides features 4 and 5, as well as the minimalistic approach.
+
+
+---
+## Do Gnuplot.jl suits my needs?
+
+Any modern plotting package is able to produce a simple scatter plot, with custom symbols, line styles, colors and axis labels.  Indeed, this is exactly the example that is reported in every package documentation (also here: see [Plots in 2D](@ref)). Still, producing complex and publication-quality plots is not an easy task.  As a consequence is also not easy to determine whether a package can cope with the most difficult cases (unless you actually try it out) and a reasonable choice is typically to rely on the size of the user base, the availability of documentation / tutorials, and the possibility to preview complex examples.
+
+**Gnuplot.jl** aims to be ready for even the most challenging plots by relying on the widely and long lasting used `gnuplot` application, and by allowing each native feature (both present and future ones) to be immediately available in the Julia language.  Moreover, **Gnuplot.jl** provides a unique syntax specifically aimed to increase productivity while performing interactive data exploration.
+
+Last but not least, have a look at the **Gnuplot.jl** [Examples](#ref) page.
+

+## Notation
+In this documentation:
+- **Gnuplot.jl** refers to the Julia package;
+- `gnuplot` refers to the [gnuplot](http://gnuplot.info/) application.

+# Installation
+
+## Prerequisite
+In order to use the **Gnuplot.jl** package you'll need [gnuplot](http://gnuplot.info/) (ver. >= 5.0) installed on your system, and its executable available in your path.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+In the Julia REPL type:
+``` julia
+using Pkg
+Pkg.add("Gnuplot")
+using Gnuplot
+```
