Heh.
I also saw gnuplot used in a crystallography presentation recently,
in a totally unexpected way.  The presenter had recorded diffraction
images from a non-monochromatic X-ray beam on a CCD detector.
Successive images were separated by a very small angular rotation of
the crystal. The CCD images were plotted in gnuplot using some variant
of "plot with image" and output as an animated gif. This made
a nice movie showing the displacement of individual Bragg reflections
on the detector surface as the crystal rotation gradually shifted the
wavelength accepted by Bragg's Law.
