Hi,


I've been hunting for some info on gnuplot and wondered if there is a
suggested "best practice" for using it and org...

I've just used what worg has (#+PLOT: ...)
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-plot.php


But several discussions seem to show a lot of people using embedded source
instead (#+begin_src gnuplot...)?
- http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg26014.html
- http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg27861.html
- http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg28119.html

Is it better to choose one over the other? I'm guessing it's easier to find
help with the babel method since the lingo is the same vs. needing to know
the discrepancies used by org-plot to translate into gnuplot?


Thanks for suggestions,
John

  I have been using both org-plot/gnuplot and ob-gnuplot lately. I found
  #+PLOT directives very useful to get a few quick interactive plots
  while I am playing with things. But for publication quality plots I
  find org-babel much more flexible and capable. Also org-plot has
  certain limitations, e.g. it can't make plots with error bars.

  Open source is the future. It sets us free.
