PAW++ is a program for visualizing experimental data in interactive graphics. PAW stands for "Physics Analysis Workstation". It is developed and maintained by CERN since 1986 and written for linux. Unlike the original Paw, it owns a userfriendly GUI. The programm is scriptable and can be run in batch mode. It has been optimized for huge and time consuming data analyses. Like Paw, Paw++ is GPL licenced. Paw and Paw++ are standard tools for experiments in high energy physics. It is based on and intended for interoperation with components of CERNLIB, an extensive collection of Fortran libraries. Relative programms to Paw++ are for example Paw++ are Edgr, Extrema, Maple, Origin, Physica and ROOT. Despite continuing popularity, it has recently been losing ground to the C++-based ROOT package.
