Clker.com – weblog

Plots GNUPlot charts without GNUPlot on your server. This plugin communicates with our custom version of GNUPlot hosted at clker.com, and responds with a PNG chart or errors in case of errors.

Write your GNUPlot code between [ gplot] and [ /gplot] (without spaces). Maximum chart size is 1×1.

To install

1. Copy the file ( gnuplot plugin ) in you wp-content/plugins directory, and rename to .php instead of .phptxt.
2. Create wp-content/cache directory, and make sure it is write able to the webserver
3. Activate the plugin from the plugins tab inside wordpress

Example:

[ gplot]

set size 1,0.7
set dummy u,v
unset key
set parametric
set view 60, 30, 1.1, 1.33
set isosamples 50, 20
set title "Interlocking Tori - PM3D surface with depth sorting"
set urange [ -3.14159 : 3.14159 ] noreverse nowriteback
set vrange [ -3.14159 : 3.14159 ] noreverse nowriteback
set pm3d depthorder
splot cos(u)+.5*cos(u)*cos(v),sin(u)+.5*sin(u)*cos(v),.5*sin(v) with pm3d,\
1+cos(u)+.5*cos(u)*cos(v),.5*sin(v),sin(u)+.5*sin(u)*cos(v) with pm3d

[/ gplot]

would produce this:

… Enjoy

Newer version is here

While I was writing the repeated images identification post, I modified the mimetex wordpress plugin to be the GNUPlot wordpress plugin.

The plugin executes GNUPlot over any portion of the text enclosed between [ gplot] and [/ gplot] tags, without the spaces of course.

Example:

[ gplot]

set size 0.75, 0.3

set xrange[0:5]

plot sin(x) title “sin(x)”, sin(2*x) title “sin(2x)”

[/ gplot]

would generate:

- Create the directory <wordpress>/wp-content/cache, and make sure it is writable by the web server

Enjoy
