4.1.9.2 Calling gnuplot from ConTeXt

The easiest way to make plots in ConTeXt documents is

          \\usemodule[gnuplot]
          \\starttext
          \\title{How to draw nice plots with {\\sc gnuplot}?}
          \\startGNUPLOTscript[sin]
          set format y "%.1f"
          plot sin(x) t '$\\sin(x)$'
          \\stopGNUPLOTscript
          \\useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin]
          \\stoptext

This will run gnuplot automatically and include the resulting figure in the document."
