DESCRIPTION

This routine is for all else fails. Ideally one would modify the library code to provide the needed facility. However, if hacking is required, a command to the gnuplot(1) process doing the plotting can be sent via this command. The obvious problem is that the command will be wrong or irrelavent if gnuplot was no longer the plotting system, which will likely be under user control at some point.

RETURNS

NO_ERROR on success, and ERROR on failure, with an error message being set.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
