Try to create a small LaTeX file that works and import this into LyX.
This might help to find the required raw LaTeX command(s).

LyX does not "know" about any raw LaTeX - so it may be you have to export the
file to LaTeX and then run LaTeX Gnuplot etc. "by hand".

It works now.
I had to add the argument -shell-escape to the Converter syntax pdflatex
in the Preferences.
Thanks

The necessary package is gnuplottex.
Because I use Miktex, I put \usepackage[miktex]{gnuplottex} in the
Lyx-preamble.
With Tex-Code in Lyx-document \begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf] plot sin(x)
\end{gnuplot}, I don't get any gnuplot output.

Glad you got it working. We wanted to make LyX work more seamlessly with
gnuplot. I believe that Koji made efforts towards this goal. I wanted
to continue his work but I did not find the time and have since lost
interest. I CC Koji just in case you two want to attempt to bring those
efforts back to life.

Re: Embed Gnuplot commands in Lyx
This is a good idea. A small solution is, to write a short manual how to embed Gnuplot in Lyx on the Lyx-Webpage. A disadvantage of embedding Gnuplot code in Lyx is, that ERT doesn't understand unicode. So it's impossible, to embed unicode Gnuplot code in Lyx.
