Dear ConTeXt folks,


I have two coefficients saved in a text file

         -0.157737135681261
         -0.211443105668896

and I want to use them to plot a line with gnuplot.

Having several of those files I want to use Lua to create the formula
for the line for me.

I have not yet figured out how to read values from a file in Lua and
just tried to print a constant to the gnuplot command.

I tried the following.

         \usemodule[gnuplot]

         \startGNUPLOTscript[lua]
            plot \ctxlua{context(1.2 * x + 3)}
         \stopGNUPLOTscript

         \startGNUPLOTscript[nolua]
            plot 1.2 * x + 3
         \stopGNUPLOTscript

         \starttext
         \useGNUPLOTgraphic[lua]

         Above should be a plot.

         \useGNUPLOTgraphic[nolua]

         \blank
         \CONTEXT\ \contextmark\ \contextversion
         \stoptext

You have to twist your mide a bit:

\startluacode
  local x = 10
  context.startGNUPLOTscript{ "lua" }
  context("plot %s",1.2 * x + 3)
  context.stopGNUPLOTscript()
\stopluacode


\starttext
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[lua]
\stoptext
