Is there any way to program Gnuplot into a webpage?
It would be great to simply press a link button in a
webpage and have a preprogrammed graph pop up.
It would be even better to be able to type in an equation
on the webpage and have its graph appear.
Is this simply impossible because there is
just no way to connect html and linux?

re: Gnuplot to HTML/Website Interface


you could solve this in a lot of ways (I think)

you can work with flash (totally not linux related)
php (little linux related)
perl (little linux related)

I think those would be the easiest, you open the website and open a page that will calculate, draw the graph and show it.

Thank you micmast!
I think I will try to interface it with PHP
since that is already in the code.
In checking around after your reply
I even found PHP-GnuPlot.zip to work with.
Thanks again. You saved me a lot of time.
All you guys on this and the other forums are just great!
