[Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots

[Sayan Chatterjee]

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

1. Yes. This is exactly what I wanted. Creating a bunch of data sets and
then writing script to plot them using gnuplot, but if something can
produce directly 'plots' it will certainly be helpful.

2. Yes. By stitching them up I meant an animation.Sorry for the
ambiguity. Exactly how we can do it Octave.

Pls see this link:

I think Python is THE language, which may come to an immediate rescue.

My OS is Linux Mint (Gnome 3)
