[Gnuplot-py-users] Plotting time formats in gnuplot-py - Question on status

Hello everyone,

I'm not yet a subscriber to this list, so please send at least a CC of
your answers to me personally.

I have basically the same question as Geoff Low had in his post '
Plotting time formats in gnuplot-py
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10079214> ' on
2004-11-18 01:45
I used gnuplot.py quite extensively a couple of years ago and I really
loved it, except for the problem that the gnuplot process needed the
'using' keyword when plotting time-series data. As the PlotItems of
that time didn't allow setting the using-keyword I was forced to work
with temporary files which takes away much of the speed and comfort of
having python controlling gnuplot.

Recently I'm again doing more visualization of time-series and I have
tried to utilize gnuplot's rather limited batch-file capabilities
using nested 'call's to achieve my goals. But that still means a lot
of duplication of code, which I would like to avoid.
I have also tried IDL, but I found that gnuplot's defaults make up
much better images and the cusomization is much easier with gnuplot
even though IDL is basically more powerful if you have enough time to
tweak it the way you want (and this is what I don't have, as usual :-) ).

So my question is, if there is any way to trick the gnuplot process
into using python-arrays that contain time-series information without
resorting to temporary files? I would be back to gnuplot and python in
no time :-)

Best regards,



Thomas
