== Programming and application interfaces ==
gnuplot can be used from various programming languages to graph data, including [[C++]] (via [http://arminms.github.io/g3p G3P]), [[Perl]] (via [[Perl Data Language|PDL]] and other [[CPAN]] packages), [[Python (programming language)|Python]] (via [https://github.com/dkogan/gnuplotlib gnuplotlib], [http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/ Gnuplot-py] and [[SageMath]]), [[R (programming language)|R]] via ([https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rgnuplot/index.html Rgnuplot]), [[Julia (programming language)|Julia]] (via [https://github.com/mbaz/Gaston.jl Gaston.jl]), [[Java (programming language)|Java]] (via [https://github.com/mleoking/JavaGnuplotHybrid JavaGnuplotHybrid] and [http://jgnuplot.sourceforge.net/ jgnuplot]), [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] (via [https://github.com/rdp/ruby_gnuplot Ruby Gnuplot]), [[Ch (computer programming)|Ch]] (via [http://www.softintegration.com/docs/ch/plot/ Ch Gnuplot]), [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]] (via [https://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gnuplot Haskell gnuplot]), [[Fortran 95]],<ref>{{cite web|last1=Singh|first1=Madhusudan|title=gnuplotfortran - the Fortran 95 interface to gnuplot|url=http://gnuplotfortran.sourceforge.net|website=gnuplotfortran.sourceforge.net|access-date=10 May 2016}}</ref> [[Smalltalk]] ([[Squeak]] and [[GNU Smalltalk]]) and [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]] (via [https://github.com/SiegeLord/RustGnuplot RustGnuplot]).

gnuplot also supports [[Pipe (Unix)|piping]], which is typical of scripts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://linuxgazette.net/168/misc/lg/2_cent_tip__piping_to_gnu_plot_from_c.html|title=2-cent Tip: Piping to GNU Plot from C|website=Linuxgazette.net|access-date=27 June 2022}}</ref> For script-driven graphics, gnuplot is one of the most popular programs.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}}
