Here is an introductory excerpt from the README file:
What is the Narrative Plotting Framework?
-----------------------------------------
Narrative is a framework written with Apple's Cocoa API for plotting
on Mac OS X. It is designed to be a complete plotting framework,
rather than a few lightweight classes. This makes the learning curve
greater, but leads to a powerful and extendible plotting solution.
Nearly every aspect of the framework can be modified or extended
through subclassing or delegation, in the best traditions of Cocoa
design. The NSTableView concept of a data source is used to supply
plots with data, placing very few restrictions on the form of data
used, and how it is stored.
What license applies to Narrative?
----------------------------------
Narrative is open-source software, released under the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL). Effectively this means you can use
Narrative in your own software, without open-sourcing the rest of your
code. If you make any changes to Narrative itself, you need to make
the source code of the changed version of Narrative available, but the
rest of your source code does not need to be made available. The idea
behind this licensing model is that everyone can use Narrative, and
help improve it, without any obligation to open-source other parts of
their software.
