Great to hear, hopefully this will be more robust by then :) > Works great on GNU Emacs 22.1.1 with Org 6.06b and gnuplot 4.2 > patchlevel 3.

I'll take a look and see if there are any unix-only commands being used, I have no access to windows machines so I may not be able to reproduce. > A couple of questions (or feature requests): > > 1. How can I save the image? I think the question how to use a > different device like "png" and have charts saved on disk. you can save the image by adding a file:"path-to-image.jpg" option to the #+PLOT: line above the graph, which should set gnuplot's `output' and `term' options appropriately, if you want to do fancy things you can set these values manually by adding something like the following to the #+PLOT: line set:"terminal png transparent nocrop enhanced font arial 8" set:"output 'my-output-file.png'" > 2. How to use custom labels? there is an option intended for this purpose labels:(col1 col2) which should have this effect, however I will probably need to change the way the regexp parses options first, I'll put this on my TODO list and let you know when it's working. > 3. How can I pick and choose which columns to plot like in gnuplot's > plot command? you select the column to serve as the dependent variable (x-axis) using the dep: command with the number of the column as the sole argument (dep:1 to use the first column). To specify which cols should be plotted use the inds: options passing a list of column numbers, like inds:(2 3) > 4. How can I cycle through all tables and plot them all? I have no idea what the best method would be for cycling through tables, I agree this would be a useful feature (picturing all graphs being re-generated upon export to latex/html), however I don't know of any commands for cycling through tables. I've been thinking of defining a [[plot:]] type link which may make this easier. Also, I may be able to copy an answer from the exporting code. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. > Thanks for writing and sharing this.
