I have wrapped, or to be more accurate, created a pipe to, gnuplot in my 
applications -- in Linux. There is one also in Glue.pm in Gtk2::Ex:Geo 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/libral/Gtk2-Ex-Geo/lib/Gtk2/Ex/Geo/Glue.pm?rev=1.11&view=auto

see "sub plot"

It does some guessing to figure out if the user wants to plot data from 
a hash or from an array or a Timeseries object (one of my in-house 
modules). It is handy and not much code, I know there is also 
Term::Gnuplot or something but this pipe approach has been good enough 
for me.
