My Extension

GnuPlotPlugin uses GnuPlot to plot and visualize any kind of data

For further information about the used command line program GnuPlot see http://www.gnuplot.info/.

It is possible to write down GnuPlot Syntax directliy into the option section of the %GNUPLOT{...}% Macro or into a separate topic within the same web.

The plots are stored as hidden attachments to the topic. So far, the created images are regenerated each time the topic is rendered AND the created images are never deleted

Within the GnuPlot code for plotting, you could refer to attached data files using the macro %TOPIC%/attached_file_name.txt

Furthermore it is possible to start (and finish) the topic, which contains the plotting command with <verbatim> and <sticky>.

Example 1

%GNUPLOT{plot sin(x)}%

If installed, you shoudl see a sinus function below:

%GNUPLOT{plot sin(x)}%

Example 2

%GNUPLOT{topic="SimpleTestPlot"}%

Example 3

%GNUPLOT{set terminal png size 300,200; plot sin(x)}%

If installed, you shoudl see a sinus function below:

%GNUPLOT{set terminal png size 300,200; plot sin(x)}%
