[Gnuplot-info] Wavelet Auditory Model Gnuplot Adaptation

[Mandeep B. <man...@gm...>]

Dear Gnuplot Contributors:

My name is Mandeep Bedi and I am emailing you on behalf of the Wavelet
Auditory Model Group at the University of Maryland.  We are working on a
software project related to sound filtering and are interested in using
gnuplot for graphing data from our program and allowing user interface.  To
make gnuplot better suited for our project, we were interested in adding a
few features to it and would appreciate your feedback:

--The ability to "import" functions into gnuplot from from our project
library.  Our project is predominantly written in Java, and our idea is to
attach a shared object in the form of a .so file to gnuplot and then execute
a command that goes something like:

import function f(x) from 'wam.so'

so that we can use the function f(x) in our gnuplot script.

--We are also interested in adding functionality to gnuplot for importing
tabular data from our project, perhaps by a command like the following:

import datafile 'hello' from 'wam.so'

While gnuplot does already support file-reading, we are hoping to make more
use of the shared library idea introduced above, and were wondering what you
thought about this.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Mandeep Bedi
