Well, I have pretty recent cvs snapshot of gnuplot and emf terminal
still screwy (or at least it looks screwy in OO.org1.1.0 on linux) --
the "key" and the axis labels are all misplaced.

Its default colors also quite off -- axes are yellow and graph is black.

The preview image has 72dpi resolution. You pretty much cannot see any default
lines. So this method works if document is intended for printing or
distribution as postscript/pdf.

Currently, my way of dealing with MSWord types is to send them postscript/pdf
and get them "cut-and-paste" thing. With OO.org on non-M$ platform, it is usually
end up being very high resolution bitmap (like 300dpi) courtesy of ghostscript.

Anyone knows if OO.org is planning to support SVG?

Dmitri.
