Gnuplot.hh

//
// A C++ interface to gnuplot. 
//
// This is a direct translation from the C interface
// written by N. Devillard (which is available from
// http://ndevilla.free.fr/gnuplot/).
//
// As in the C interface this uses pipes and so wont
// run on a system that doesn't have POSIX pipe 
// support

//
// A little correction for Win32 compatibility
// and MS VC 6.0 done by V.Chyzhdzenka 
//
// Notes:
// 1. Added private method Gnuplot::init().
// 2. Temporary file is created in th current
//    folder but not in /tmp.
// 3. Added #indef WIN32 e.t.c. where is needed.
// 4. Added private member m_sGNUPlotFileName is
//    a name of executed GNUPlot file.
