Yes... the preprocessing can be done more cleanly in lua. And these module will not have to do the book-keeping of creating external files and running programs on them. In addition, you get all the features of the filter module. So one could set the output directory: \setupGNUPLOT[directory=gnuplot] will create all temporary files in a 'gnuplot' directory. If a figure depends on an external data-set, you can choose to always run gnuplot on it. %by default only rerun if the file has changed \setupGNUPLOT[continue=yes] \startGNUPLOT[continue=no] ... read from data-set \stopGNUPLOT etc. Not to mention less maintenance for everyone. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
