output and streaming display of live data. A simple example:
seq 5 | awk '{print 2*$1, $1*$1}' |
feedGnuplot.pl --lines --points --legend "data 0" --title "Test plot" --y2 1
You should see a plot with two curves (one on the y1 axis and the other on
the y2 axis), a legend and a title. The first line of the example generates
some data to plot and the second reads it in from STDIN and generates the

plot an x-y dataset, feed in the x values as the first element in every line

seq 5 | awk '{print 2*$1, $1*$1}' |

we get only one curve, with different x values. As many points as desired
can appear on a single line, but all points on a line are associated with

we get 5 different curves with one point in each. The first column, as
produced by awk, is '2,4,6,8,10'. These are interpreted as the indices of
the curves to be plotted. The feedGnuplot.pl script created 11 different
