Both gnuplotlib and feedgnuplot work as very thin wrappers around gnuplot, where they pass strings directly to gnuplot without knowing what the strings mean. This allows those interfaces to support lots and lots of styles, while containing no code that makes those styles work: all the logic is inside gnuplot itself. The double-plotting in violinplot.dem is qualitatively different than pretty much every other gnuplot style, so I would need to add special-case support for it. I COULD do that, but I really don't want to: the really simple API of feedgnuplot and gnuplotlib is a feature, and this special-case path would dilute that feature. In a perfect world we'd be able to make violin plots like all others: with some "set" commands (that don't have the data in it) and a single plot/splot command that is given data. That is sounding like a big project inside gnuplot, though. _______________________________________________ gnuplot-beta mailing list [email protected] Membership management via: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gnuplot-beta
