This may not be directly relevant to the task you describe, but
it's not too
far distant: in CVS and snapshots, the "yvars" and "xvar" arguments
to the
gnuplot command can now be left implicit when a matrix is specified via the
--matrix option.
for example, if you want to see an nice bunch of random walks:
<hansl>
X = cum(mnormal(40,3)) ~ seq(1,40)'
gnuplot --matrix=X --output=display --with-lines
</hansl>
If --time-series is given the default is to plot all columns of the matrix
against time, otherwise the last column of the matrix is taken as "xvar" and
the others as "yvars".
or
<hansl>
X = cum(mnormal(40,3))
gnuplot --matrix=X --output=display --with-lines --time-series
</hansl>
