Dear Hans,
something broke backward compatibility in MKII.
When using buffers like in
\startbuffer[buffername] hello world \stopbuffer
the code now creates buffername.tmp instead of \jobname-buffername.tmp.
Works fine with 2011.08.04, so something broke in the latest version.
OK, I need to take some time and try to use Aditya's code in the background anyway
In MkIV, with the filter module it is now possible to use preamble and postample buffers for each filters. With this, the basic functionality of the gnuplot module works fine (but I only tested the pdf and png backends, not the context backend). I am also thinking of providing an interface for parsing the buffer content at lua end. That will allow us to implement all the features of the gnuplot and lilypond module using the filter module. But I need some testers, as I don't use either of the programs. Aditya
