-%description
-Scientists often need to use data analysis and plotting software. For Windows
-systems there is a well known and widely used software called Origin, which is
-not free, of course. The purpose of this project is to develop a free (open 
-source), platform independent alternative to Origin. QtiPlot can already
-successfully replace Origin in students computer classes and is being used in
-universities and research institutes all over the world. QtiPlot is being
-actively improved, all your suggestions to our "wish to" list and all your
-contributions are most welcome!
