I want to send data directly (without storing them in an data file) from a
perl script to gnuplot. Does the plot command accept something like a matrix
or a datastring?
Any example or any good command documentation of gnuplot would help. I fount
lots of good introductions for gnuplot but I couldn't find a good command
reference.
Thank you
Sincerely
Lore

Yes. You can pipe any data "on the fly" via stdin. For examples, just
launch gnuplot, then type "help plot datafile special".

Did you ever type "help" inside gnuplot ... ? ;-)

That was what I needed. Thank you :)
Is there any way to get a list of the subtopics in gnuplot -help? All I
found earlyer was the "plotting"-topic. How did you get the "plot datafile
special"?
Thank you
Lore
I recommend to download the PDF version of the help file,
which has an index:
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs/gnuplot.pdf
There's also an html version online at
