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.

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.

Best wishes
