This library looks experimental, with only ascii bar plot support. If
you want anything nicer you got to use an external package; even Emacs
built-in Calculator uses gnuplot to draw functions and data.

As for showing the plot, the babel code block I showed generates the
following result section

#+RESULTS:
[[file:a.png]]

Then you only need to make sure org mode shows images by calling
`org-toggle-inline-images' and it's part of the buffer, if that wasn't
clear.
