Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] Re: Contributions to Gnuplot.py

Hi,

I just implemented some accumulated suggestions in the CVS version of 
Gnuplot.py.

Done.

I will not implement this (because of the ambiguity).  But since this 
seems to be a popular feature, maybe I'll implement it with another name 
(like 'qplot()', as suggested by Leo Milano).

Ditto.

I still don't understand the timing issue.  But I see the need to be 
able to plot directly to a "hardcopy" file (be it PS or EPS or PNG or 
...) without first plotting to a graphics window.  It would be very 
nearly possible now, if Gnuplot._add_to_queue() were a documented part 
of the interface.

Done.
