I have been using both org-plot/gnuplot and ob-gnuplot lately. I found #+PLOT directives very useful to get a few quick interactive plots while I am playing with things. But for publication quality plots I find org-babel much more flexible and capable. Also org-plot has certain limitations, e.g. it can't make plots with error bars. > Thanks for suggestions, > John GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
