UDAV is a cross-platform program for data array visualization based on the MathGL library. It supports a wide spectrum of graphics, simple script language, and visual data handling and editing. It has a windowed interface for data viewing, changing, and plotting. It can execute MGL scripts, set up and rotate graphics, export to bitmap or vector (EPS or SVG) files, draw TeX-like formulas, and so on.
UDAV features

* Wide spectrum of graphics. At this moment (MathGL v.1.9) more than 55 general types of graphics are supported.
* There are smoothed lightning, transparency, TeX symbols and formulas, arbitrary curvelinear coordinates and a lot of other things (see MathGL features).
* Simple and fast data and formulas plotting:
o You can plot the data by one click (just type ‘udav datafile.dat’ or open it in UDAV)
o You can see the script and graphical result at the same time.
o You can rotate, shift, zoom plot by toolbuttons or by mouse.
o You can switch on/off lightning and transparency.
o You can run animation.
* Table for data editing support up to 3-dimensional data arrays.
* Minimal set of tools for data handling (smoothing, resizing, cropping, filling by formula, summation, differentiation, histogram creation and so on).
* Export graphics to bitmap (PNG, JPEG or EPS) and vector (EPS or SVG) files.
