Gnuplot is a portable command-line graphing utility available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS and other platforms. It uses input data files to create graphs and other visualisations.
A gnu file typically contains plain-text data, such as values arranged in rows and columns for plotting. The file is read by Gnuplot as an input data source rather than being a graph image or project file.
Open a gnu file with Gnuplot and use it as the data source for a plot. Gnuplot is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS and other platforms.
Because the file contains input data, it can also be viewed with any text editor. A text editor can show the stored values but cannot render the data as a graph.
There is no single conversion format for a gnu file; its contents are input data for Gnuplot. If necessary, the text data can be rearranged or saved in another delimited-text format with a text editor, spreadsheet program or data-processing script.
Gnuplot can use the data to produce an exported graph in a format such as an image or PDF, but this converts the plotted result rather than the original input data.
