The first week I started playing with Python, I used it to generate
gnuplot scripts. I found it to be very easy and quite effective; of course
you can also use the Gnuplot.py interface (Google is your friend), but if
you don't know Python and you now well enough Gnuplot, I think it is easier to
generate the gnuplot code directly.
