+Ruby/Gnuplot is a pipe-based interface to the gnuplot package.
+Provides the full capabilities of the gnuplot package to Ruby
+programs. Inspired by the Python Gnuplot package that works on the
+same principle. Here's an example usage of Ruby/Gnuplot:
+
+ require 'narray'
+ require 'gplot/Gnuplot'
+
+ x = NArray.sfloat(100).indgen!
+ y = x.collect { |i| i*i }
+
+ plot = Plot.new ()
+
+ plot.setTitle ("Demo 1");
+ plot.setXlabel ("X");
+ plot.setYlabel ("X^2");
+
+ ds = DataSet.new (y, {"with"=> "lines", "title"=>"Data"})
+ ds.setGrid (x)
+
+ plot.draw ( ds )
