Gnuplot scripts support for vim

vim-gnuplot

A collection of settings (and maybe functions) to make vim go well with gnuplot

Run as Jobs

To run gnuplot in the background, run it by a :Make command (instead of :make or :lmake), such as

• that of vim-dispatch or,

• with AsyncRun.vim installed, that defined by

  command! -bang -nargs=* -complete=file -bar Make AsyncRun<bang> -auto=make -program=make

  To avoid empty lines in the quickfix list, add let g:asyncrun_trim = 1 to your vimrc. Other options, such as g:asyncrun_save might be of interest.

vim-gnuplot's Issues

Auto-format long lines

Long lines should be automatically formatted using the line continuation feature of the language

Keep an instance of gnuplot in the background

Still looking if terminal or just job is the feature I want for that, but I would like to add a command to update the graph live after some changes. Typical workflow is :

• Create and write a gnuplot file with the default terminal (or qt)
• Make some modifications to the layout or the fonts or the linestyles
• Have a command update the same graph window so you can keep vim/gvim and the gnuplot window side to side all the time.

Update syntax detection

The syntax file in the plugin is the syntax file shipped with vim, which is written with gnuplot 4

The new syntax rules added in gnuplot 5 should be added. The plan is to use the manual to implement them
