I have been directed to look at some math programming languages such

people with no computer background, so these language solutions simply
will not work for us. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, programs such as Kalgebra produce graphs like that.
But can Kalgebra also draw natal/progressed astrology charts?

Do you know of a debian package for this? Looks like it will not work with
my 'etch' due to the fact that I have QT4 tools loaded. I will give the
tarball a try anyway.

Hey,
I can't see it from my etch box as a package, but from my Ubuntu
desktop box (lenny/sid based) it comes up as a universe/math package.
According to an article I found[1] referencing debian unstable package
additions[2], qgfe was added to unstable around July '07.
It's possible you may find it in backports, but it's still a fairly
recent addition.
cheers,
Owen.

Have a look at octave and scilab, there is also maxima for linear algebra but I
don't know if it does graphs

I don't need that. However, there _are_ functions that I do need that
Kalgebra does not provide. Hence this thread.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
