btw, how difficult would it be to add a lua api to gnuplot, in which case we could communicate via lua tables

btw: Some of you may not know about cairo library. (http://cairographics.org/) It's versatile graphic library with many output targets(pdf,svg,png,...) and bindings to different programming languages (including lua!). It can do almost the same things that metapost do. Development version of gnulpot should be able to use cairo library for rendering too.

Cairo (with pango, that needs lots of tweaking to be able to build it, I do not even dare dreaming about being able to build it on windows) is able to generate PDFs in gnuplot, but not to input any TeX labels yet, I'm affraid. Mojca
