Hi,
I am trying to use gnuplot as a plotting facility for an application.
To that end, I start 'gnuplot -' in the background and communicate
with it via pipes. It works okay and could be a lot easier if
gnuplot were designed for this purpose. BTW, I am wondering if the
'-' command line switch has any effects other than telling gnuplot
to take its input from stdin (the only other effect I observed is
that it omits it's startup message).
Are there any plans to improve gnuplot with respect to interfacing
with other applications, e.g., defining an API and offering a
'libgnuplot' build option?
Thanks,
Ralf
