When you give the outputfile the name "-"
plplot-lib will write to stdout!!!

You can make your executable that writes
a stream to stdout and then redirect the output of
your file into the fifo!

$ my-stream-generator > my_fifo


But at the other end of the fifo,
then you maybe have to cut the stream into seperated files...
...depends on your reading process / program, if it can read
plplot-lib's output directly.
