 This project provides a complete, but unofficial, .NET binding for PLplot.
 It allows you to use PLplot from C#, F#, Visual Basic or any other .NET language.
-We are targeting .NET Standard 2.0 and have tested the bindings on Linux and Windows.

 The simplest way of installing the package is to run the following command from inside your project directory.
 
 ```dotnet add package PLplot```
 
 Alternatively you can download the NuGet package from <https://www.nuget.org/packages/PLplot>.

 [PLplot](http://plplot.sourceforge.net/) is a cross-platform software package for creating scientific plots whose (UTF-8) plot symbols and text are limited in practice only by what Unicode-aware system fonts are installed on a user's computer.
 
 The PLplot core library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semi-log plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D surface plots, mesh plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page, and multiple pages are allowed for those device formats that support them.
