Export plots made with org-plot

Export plots made with org-plot

[Daniel Clemente]

Hi,
  org-plot shows a plot from a table's data, via: M-x org-plot/gnuplot RET. For instance:

#+PLOT: type:3d with:pm3d
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |


  However there must probably be a way to export the whole .org document to HTML (via C-c C-e b) including plots (exported as .png images in the same directory).
  Now only the table is exported. org-plot's documentation [1] doesn't refer to plot exporting; am I missing something?

Hi Dan,

org-plot does not have support for automatic generation of plots on
export.  Currently to include plots in an exported document you must
manually plot the data to a file using the 'file' argument in your plot
string, then include the generated file into your org-mode document as
you would any other image.

Cheers -- Eric


side note: If you are feeling bold, I have recently added gnuplot as a
supported language to org-babel [1].  With org-babel it is possible to
setup a plot which will be automatically generated and included in an
org-mode document upon export to html.  Here is an example of a plot
using the new org-babel syntax [2].  To preview the graph before export
press C-c C-c with the point on the block.
