This sounds fine (having a --debug-like option), but one more question - what about caching existing results? (If all files are deleted, then it's not possible to ask for --ifchanged, so gnuplot needs to be run each time.) > That might be better otherwise debugging a big document could result > it hundreds of files. > > Another possibility would be to put the files in /tmp. That's not too practical.
