Hello,
I developed a VS Code extension to preview gnuplot figures when editing it and I want to share it with you to boost your work.
Here is the link : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fizzybreezy.gnuplot
And here is the source code : https://github.com/fizzybreezy/vscode-gnuplot
To active preview, just use command `gnuplot.view` or hotkey `ctrl(cmd) + alt +v` when editing gnuplot scripts ( *.gnuplot, *.gnu, *.plot, *.plt, *.gp ).The preview panel will auto refresh when you change your script and switch editor windows between scripts.
Enjoy this extension and welcome to help me improve it by post issues and pull request.

Hi man!
This sounds great for me. But, to be honest, I do not have idea of VS Code. I have installed VS Code on mac then I have installed the extension. However, still I can’t realize what do you mean with "Make sure you have added the directory containing gnuplot binary to PATH environment variable and restart VS Code before using this extension.” How can I do that...? There exist an ini file for VS Code? Where is it?
Thanks in advance,
Crist.

hi crist,
well, I didn't test this extension on mac and I am not familiar with mac. I'll try to give some advice.
1. just open a gnuplot script in VS Code and open the preview panel by pressing `cmd + alt +v` ,change and save your script(do not `set terminal` and `set output`),see if the extension is worked.
2. if not, reinstall gnuplot with brew and restart vscode(maybe also your computer). here is tutorial, https://gist.github.com/scuxiayiqian/c8ea9452f86dc1918de92b136e772c80.
Hopefully this will work for you, if you still have troubles, fell free to ask me and i'll try to help.

Hi fizzy! It works!. It seems that my problem came from gnuplot/vscode: “Cannot find or open file”. In the script I have a line with set loadpath '../‘, which works well directly in gnuplot.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Best,
Crist.

hi crist,
I have published a patched version and now you can use lines like `loadpath '../'` .
cheers,

Where do I use the gnuplot.view? I tried the terminal but it didn't work.
