On systems supporting pipes, you can pipe commands to gnuplot from other programs. Many applications with gnuplot as the graphics engine, like Octave (http://www.octave.org), uses this method. This also works from a cgi script to drive gnuplot from a forms-based web page. John Campbell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) modified a much earlier version of gnuplot (3.5) to be a library of C subroutines callable from a C program. Gnuplot itself has changed radically since then, and we are not aware of any plans to create a similar library based on the current version. John
