You're very welcome. =A0I use a number of methods to generate gra= phs and
diagrams and gnuplot is definitely one of my favourites. =A0For the
adventurous, there's a great blog:

Put gnuplot together with org-mode and org-babel and it's yet another piece in the puzzle that leads to an incredibly powerful desktop
analysis and publishing system!
