gnuplot_i


gnuplot_i, a C code which allows a C or C++ program to pass data to GNUPLOT for immediate plotting, by Nicholas Devillard.

In order to use this package, you must have GNUPLOT available in your path.

The original package allowed the user to plot a pair of data vectors (x,y) by storing them in a struct designated as a "dpoint", and calling the function

void gnuplot_plot1d_var2 ( gnuplot_ctrl *handle, dpoint *d, int n_points, char *title )
      

My preference is to handle such data as a pair of vectors x and y. Thus, a variation of the above function has been prepared:

void gnuplot_plot1d_var2v ( gnuplot_ctrl *handle, double *x, double *y, int n_points, char *title )
      

Languages:

gnuplot_i is available in a C version.

gnuplot_test, C codes which illustrate how a program can write data and command files so that gnuplot can create plots of the program results.
