Veusz is a scientific plotting and graphing application with a GUI for creating publication-ready 2D and 3D plots, built from composable plotting widgets. It also works as a Python module, command-line tool, and via scripting/DBUS/SAMP interfaces, exporting to PDF, SVG, PNG, EPS, and EMF.

Use cases

• create publication-ready figures for a scientific paper
• plot x-y data with error bars from CSV files
• make contour and image plots from HDF5 data
• generate 3D surface plots of a dataset
• script plot generation from Python
• fit a function to measured data
• export graphs as vector PDF or SVG

When to choose

• you need publication-quality vector output for academic papers
• you want a GUI for plotting rather than writing code
• you need to import scientific formats like FITS or HDF5
• you want to automate figure generation via Python scripting

When to avoid

• you need interactive dashboards or web-based visualization
• you want quick exploratory plotting in a notebook (matplotlib may fit better)
• you need statistical chart types beyond scientific plotting
• you require a permissive license (Veusz is GPL-2.0)
