How to use

Start gnuplot

First of all we need to start gnuplot. There are three ways to do this.

Gnuplot::new(); // equals to Gnuplot::new_with_path_str("gnuplot")
Gnuplot::new_with_path_str("gnuplot");
Gnuplot::new_with_path(&String::from("gnuplot"));

Select mode

Then you need to decide in which mode you want to work with gnuplot and create an instance of gnuplot.

Scripting mode:

let script: Script = ...;
let mut gnuplot_process: GnuplorScriptProcess = gnuplot.execute_script(script);

Live mode:

let mut gnuplot_process: GnuplotLiveProcess = gnuplot.run_live();

Wait for gnuplot to complete

Wait for gnuplot to complete.

gnuplot_process.wait();

How to create a script

let mut script = Script::new();
script.add_raw_command("set term qt 0");
script.add_raw_command("plot sin(x)");
script.add_raw_command("set term qt 1");
script.add_raw_command("plot cos(x)");
script.save("/tmp/wk.plt");

How to send a command to a live gnuplot

gnuplot_process.write("set term qt 1");

How to wait for gnuplot to complete in live mode?
