Hi Ignasi, yes, that is possible since pgfplots 1.5 : use 'plot unprocessed to file={<file name>}':
\begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ % enlargelimits=false, domain=0:2*pi, samples=200, every axis plot post/.append style={mark=none}, cycle list name=exotic, axis y line=left, axis x line=middle, xmax=7, ymin=-1.2, ymax=1.2, xtick=\empty, ytick=\empty ] \addplot {sin(deg(x))}; \addplot {sin(deg(3*x))}; \addplot[plot unprocessed to file={P.dat}] {sin(deg(x))+0.5*sin(deg(3*x))}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \addplot file {P.dat}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} The feature might not be 100% stable (which is why it has not yet been documented). You can still use it - and I appreciate any bug reports.
