gnuplot is great indeed, but the output is rather large; it would be nice if there was a real good output mode (say, comparable to the output produced by metapost: compact, parsable);
btw, is it really that difficult to use gnuplot output in context?

I often use metapost output from gnuplot indeed, then pass it through a short sed script to do stuff like adding \start/stopuseMPgraphic commands and cleaning the preamble. I think gnuplot does a great job in general. For more complex graphs, I prefer the mp-graph package. Regards, David
