[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot in subprocess via pipe

[Kilian S. <ml...@on...>]

Hi,

I am very new to gnuplot and its quite fun!

Currently trying to integrate it with another command
line application I already got the mouse working... :)

I read somewhere you have to put
set mouse
in .gnuplot

So I am actually talking to gnuplot with a pipe from a c program,
which wants to show a series of plots in succession, (restarting gnuplot
again and again).

Currently, I am using something like sleep 3 in this c loop
to be able to see the plot.

I like the q key in x11 to close the plot -- my question is,
if there is a way to actually quit the gnuplot process using this key.

Then I could choose as a user how long I want to look at a plot, zoom in etc
and then hit q to see the next one...

My c program uses waitpid then...

Thanks for any hints,
cheers,

  Kilian
