Yes, but this is a particularly complex package and the demos are an easy way to come up to speed. However, there is nothing that immediately tells you that there are demos or how to run them. But I guess you could leave it up to the user to figure it out (as I did) and wait for the tickets to come in saying the demos are broken. :-) I'll leave it up to you.
What exactly would you write in the notes? I remember my first experience from windows. One runs the exe, uses File->Open and it opens at location where the program is installed, so one just needs to pick the folder `demo` and then `all.dem` (or any other file for that matter). But I don't know how to replicate that user experience on Mac lacking a standalone Gnuplot.app (which would require a tiny bit of Qt expertise to write a Qt gui with "built-in" "terminal" to resemble the behaviour in windows). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43738#comment:20> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
