Hi David (Alan?). good idea. I'll add this sometime this week. On Feb 9, 2009, at 11:05 AM, david thompson wrote:

It would give users even more flexibility if they had the capability not only to explicitly define the location of the gnuplot 'data' file (http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/clnuplot-devel/2009-February/000008.html ) but to also have the capability to explicitly specify the location of the rendered (graphical) version of the chart/plot.

Something like

(defun fullname-rendered (plot type) (let ((fullpath (fullpath plot))) (namestring (make-pathname ;; strip type info :name (pathname-name fullpath) :directory (pathname-directory fullpath) :type type))))

and then a modification of each 'set output' line for gnuplot (in the various WRITE-PLOT definitions) to something like

(format out "set output '~A'~C" (fullname-rendered plot "ps") #\Linefeed))

seems like it would do the trick...
