 People often (incorrectly) claim you can't argue preferences, but I'd
say the MP version wins hands down in this particular example. :-)

Hello Alexander,
I don't understand your problem, but perhaps you should write the psplot
command inside a \pspicture(0,-1)(1,1) ... \endpspicture.
Cheers, Peter

This works for me (I suppose your code is in pstest-texapp.tex):
$ texexec --output=dvips pstest-texapp.tex
$ dvips -o pstest-texapp.ps pstest-texapp.dvi
$ ps2pdf14 pstest-texapp.ps

Thanx also.


Don't give up on Metapost too soon. It's an awesome language and the
file size created are small, a plus when you're document includes lots
of figures and you want it to download in reasonable time on the
internet.


Well i give me the time to learn this language ;-)

Ack.

btw, is it really that difficult to use gnuplot output in context? 


Not really because if you use png or i think some other output
fileformats.

But i think you lose some benefit of metapost, or have i the wrong point
of view?!

 Hans 

I often use metapost output from gnuplot indeed, then pass it through a
short sed script to do stuff like adding \start/stopuseMPgraphic
commands and cleaning the preamble. I think gnuplot does a great job in
general.

For more complex graphs, I prefer the mp-graph package.

David

It's been a while since I used gnuplot, but at one time it was able  
to export as Metapost code. Does it still do that?
