About:
Grap is a domain-specific language for describing and typesetting mathematical graphs and diagrams. It processes textual descriptions of graphs and outputs typeset versions suitable for inclusion in documents. Its main value is providing a programmatic way to generate complex graphs for technical documentation.

Key Features:

Domain-specific language for graph description
Outputs to PostScript and other formats
Designed for integration with groff/troff
Programmatic graph generation

Use Cases:

Creating mathematical graphs for academic papers
Generating diagrams for technical documentation
Programmatic graph rendering in document pipelines

Alternatives:

ditaa – Focuses on ASCII art to diagram conversion rather than mathematical graphing
Graphviz – More widely used for general graph visualization but with different syntax and approach
