[time-nuts] Unix software to generate nice looking *DEV plots

[Jim Palfreyman]

R might be a good place to start.

I use it extensively for astrophysics (all graphs in my recent pulsar paper
accepted in The Astrophysical Journal were done using R:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.01899v1.pdf).

R has a huge support network. I haven't even looked, but I bet it'd be a
great place to start.

And it's free.

As an aside, fellow time-nuts may be interested in the paper. It's mostly
about timing after all.
