+
+The gnuplot tag allows an author to design a plot which can
+be created on the fly. This is intended for use in homework problems
+where each student needs to see a distinct plot. It can be used in
+conjunction with a script tag to generate random plots.
+
+A gnuplot tag can contain the following sub-tags:
+
+
+
Plot Label
+
Allows you to place text at a given (x,y) coordinate on the plot.
+
Plot Title
+
The title of the plot
+
Plot Xlabel
+
The label on the horizontal axis of the plot
+
Plot Ylabel
+
The label on the vertical axis of the plot
+
Plot Axes
+
allows specification of the x and y ranges displayed in the plot
+
Plot Key
+
Lists the functions displayed in the plot.
+
Plot Curve
+
Sets the data used in the plot.
+
Plot Tics
+
Allows specification of the x and y coordinate 'tics' on the axes.
+This is mostly used to adjust the grid lines when a grid is displayed.

+The curve tag is where you set the data to be plotted by gnuplot.
+There are two ways of entering the information:
+
+
Curve Data
+
Using a data tag you can specify the numbers used to produce
+the plot.
+
+By default, two data tags will be available in a plot. The
+first will specify X coordinates of the data and the second will
+give the Y coordinates of the data. When working with a linestyle that
+requires more than two data sets, inserting another data tag is
+required. Unfortunately, you must make sure the data tags appear
+in the order gnuplot expects the data.
+
+Specifying the data should usually be done with a perl variable or array,
+such as \@Xdata and \@Ydata. You may also specify numerical data seperated
+by commas. Again, the order of the data tags is important. The
+first tag will be the X data and the second will be the Y data.
+
+
Curve Function
+
The function tag allows you to specify the curve to be
+plotted as a formula that gnuplot can understand. Be careful using this
+tag - it is surprisingly easy to give gnuplot a function it cannot deal
+with properly. Be explicit: 2*sin(2*3.141592*x/4) will work but
+2sin(2*3.141592x/4) will not. If you do not receive any errors in the
+gnuplot data but still do not have an image produced, it is likely there
+is an error in your function tag.
