I am very intrigued by the new feature of lyx 2.3 to insert

I am not the person you seek regarding plotting integration with LyX;
however, I do lots of technical plotting and drawing in LaTeX. I
hadn't encountered this utility before, but it looks quite powerful.
I look forward to checking it out further.
in my documents and would like to know, how difficult it
would be to use this in the same way as gnuplot; pyxplot is
quite similar to gnuplot, but IMHO easier to use. Could I
perhaps get in touch with the person who did the lyx
implementation or could somebody forward my EMail to him? I
would gladly pay for it, since it would be much easier to
keep the plotting programs on hand (at the moment I do it by
putting the corresponding program in a note, from where I can
copy/paste it if changes are needed).
Rather than copying/pasting changes, have you tried
Insert->File->Child document and using the "Input" option to include
the external file? I routinely do this when I prepare TikZ graphics.
This method has the disadvantage, that it is shown in the pdf output
(whereas in a note it is not). Furthermore there is no line break in
it, which is bad for a program

I just tried a few simple plots from pyxplot using the ending
.gp instead of .plot and it worked just fine. I hope, it is
not too difficult to adapt pyxplot to lyx; however, I
realize, the devil is in the details.
Are you able to provide a MWE to demonstrate what you did that was
successful with some description of how you would like it to work
instead? A clear goal might help a developer assess feasibility.

Another point: If I click on the graphic and choose /external editing/
(sorry, I have chosen German), it gives me
/no information how to treat Gnuplot/.
