gnuplot and Gnuplot.py???

[pehr anderson]

Dear Carl,

If you are doing serious plotting you may also be interested
in dynamically generated PDF files. I've looked at 
http://reportlab.org but haven't yet had a chance to try it out.

I'd be very curious to hear how reportlab compares to gnuplot
for your application.
