     (description
-     "The GNU plotutils package contains software for both programmers and
-technical users.  Its centerpiece is libplot, a powerful C/C++ function
-library for exporting 2-D vector graphics in many file formats, both vector
-and raster.  It can also do vector graphics animations.
-
-libplot is device-independent in the sense that its API (application
-programming interface) does not depend on the type of graphics file to be
-exported.
-
-Besides libplot, the package contains command-line programs for plotting
-scientific data.  Many of them use libplot to export graphics.")
