Not really. In jfricas there are some fake system commands, ")python" for instance, which are captured and handled by the ipython interpreter. One such command was (deactivated at the moment) ")gnuplot", that allowed to write arbitrary GnuPlot commands into the NB cell, wherbey data comes from Fricas via the PLOT and PLOT3D domains. > > Is your idea to provide tools in FriCAS just to generate package > independent data and then call an external package with the > desired options/functionality to actually produce the graphics? You hit the nail. The gle.spad that I mentioned in a former mail is quite old, and I have a newer one (must have forgotten, although it is dated August 2020) here: https://github.com/nilqed/spadlib/blob/master/gle/src/gle.spad It requires (on debian): apt install gle-graphics. GLE is similar to Asymptote, https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ , but has IMO some advanatges. As you indicated, data is generated by another package: PLTSPT ==> PlotSupport is required. https://github.com/nilqed/spadlib/blob/master/pltspt/src/pltspt.spad I suppose this could be a path, but I have to refresh mind and do some documentation first.
