While it is possible to feed gnuplot from an external script, we have
recently been developing a gnuplot replacement using python, wxwidgets and
matplotlib. The intent is to have a standalone tool for plotting as well
as something that can be integrated more completly into a GUI.
Initially, we started with Tk then moved to pyplot but the current
combination or wxwidgets and matplotlib seems to be a better bet for
portability and support in the future.

maybe you can use octave also for plotting via gnuplot or via octaviz,
octave VTK wrapper.
While I use gnuplot for 'quick' plots, it doesn't integrate very well in a
GUI? I suppose you could render to png/svg and load them in :)
I've always thought about getting into octave, but for possibly the same
reason as matlab and other specific-purpose languages/systems, it is
difficult to know if the investment is worthwhile over learning a more
general-purpose language - so far I just stick to c++ :) (well, and
bash/shell tools, some python...)
If I start talking about PGSQL then I'm afraid that we'll move onto a
different discussion entirely...ascii vs database vs netcdf vs HDF vs... ;)
