If something is producing data in realtime, feedGnuplot.pl can be used to
produce a realtime display by passing in the --stream option. The "--xlen
windowsize" option can be passed in also to plot a scrolling window, containing
the last windowsize-worth of data (windowsize has the units of the x axis,
whether it is a point index or the passed-in domain). If --xlen is omitted or
set to 0, all of the available data is plotted, with no moving window. The
realtime data is updated at 1 Hz, so the script can handle rapidly-incoming data
without spending all of its time replotting.
