Gnuplot Development
Different remarks about gnuplot development
Hans's note:
Once we have lua in place it should not be that difficult to make a mechanism that works as follows:
- context calls gnuplot and opens a socket
- and starts waiting for gp to finish
- when gnuplot needs dimensions it talks back via the socket
- tex executes the command send by the socket
- etc
it needs some thinking but i thing that it is possible
What has to be fixed in m-gnuplot.tex
- Is it possible to get rid of "^M" at the end of lines
- Add
\defineGNUPLOThandle{eps}{postscript eps color}{eps}{texmfstart newpstopdf \GNUPLOTfile.eps}{\GNUPLOTfile.pdf}
- [Urgently] remove
startfrom
{\executesystemcommand{start /MIN pgnuplot \GNUPLOTfile.gpd}}
- No need for /MIN and possibly use gnuplot instead of pgnuplot
- perhaps some
