Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2025-01-13 17:50:35 UTC 
However upstream development seems to have come to a halt a couple of years ago.
Comment 1 Nowa Ammerlaan gentoo-dev 2025-01-13 17:55:51 UTC 
Yeah I'm not sure if it is feasible to continue to package this considering the upstream situation. sci-visualization/labplot is a decent alternative, but unfortunately is not (yet) on the same level feature wise.
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2025-04-22 21:39:58 UTC 
What is missing and do you see work on that, in labplot?

Last I checked 3D plotting was still on the labplot wishlist, not sure if any progress was made in this area.

Regardless, I don't think this is an important enough reason to keep a dead package around.
