I just made a small update to feedgnuplot (version 1.51) and to
python-gnuplotlib (version 0.23). Demo:
$ seq 5 | feedgnuplot --hardcopy showplot.gp $ ./showplot.gp [plot pops up] $ cat showplot.gp #!/usr/bin/gnuplot set grid set boxwidth 1 histbin(x) = 1 * floor(0.5 + x/1) plot '-' notitle 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 e pause mouse close
I.e. there's now support for a fake gp terminal that's not a gnuplot terminal
at all, but rather a way to produce a self-executable gnuplot script. 99% of
this was already implemented in --dump, but this way to access that
functionality is much nicer. In fact, the machine running feedgnuplot doesn't
even need to have gnuplot installed at all. I needed this because I was making
complicated plots on a remote box, and X-forwarding was being way too slow. Now
the remote box creates the self-plotting gnuplot scripts, I scp those, evaluate
them locally, and then work with interactive visualizations.
The python frontend gnuplotlib has received an analogous update.
