Inline binary data: new feature ?

[yves2010 <su...@vi...>]

Hi

I am successfully using Gnuplot as a rendering engine in my application, to
display cross-sections of data images, using Windows piping and the special
'-' filename to plot inline data. However, I have to convert my data to
ASCII and Gnuplot has to convert from ASCII, which takes sufficient time to
slow down the reactivity of the cross-section plotting when the user moves
the mouse over the image.

Could it be possible to have en extension of the syntax, something like

plot '-' binary size=<#bytes>

so that #bytes bytes of binary data can be sent inline?

Thanks in advance

Yves
