If your code produces output in real time during a run, it can be both informative and interesting to be able to view the results as they come in. This can be done simply using the following two gnuplot scripts. Copy each into vi to produce the two script files ''test.plt'' and ''loop.plt''

'''test.plt'''
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/gnuplot -persist
# test.plt
reset
load "loop.plt"
reset
</pre>

'''loop.plt'''
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/gnuplot -persist
# loop.plt
plot 'out.dat' u 1:2 w l
reread
</pre>

You of course need to edit ''loop.plt'' to your plotting specifications. Once you are happy - run gnuplot with:
<pre>
gnuplot < test.plt
</pre>

Thanks to Jason Green for the scripts :)
