Hi Bret,
Not too sure what you mean. I usually open it as a
pipe so open it just as you would a file, but using
popen (rather than fopen), pflush (rather than fflush)
and pclose (rather than fclose).
As soon as you pclose then your programme should close
gnuplot. Sounds like you might be doing something to
hang up gnuplot though.......
