Chapter 2 About
PGFPlots: Preliminaries
This section contains information about upgrades, the team, the
installation (in case you need to do it manually) and
troubleshooting. You may skip it completely except for the upgrade
remarks.
pgfplots is built completely on
TikZ/pgf. Knowledge of
TikZ will simplify the work with
pgfplots, although it is not required.
