Why does the ns_gpfile function only create a rudimentary GnuPlot file?
The ns_gpfile() function only writes the data points and the polynomial coefficients and functions to the GnuPlot file. I recommend to customize this file before running GnuPlot on it, you should add labels for x- and y-axis, specify output file type and file name… An attempt to write a complete GnuPlot file would require to have a pendant for each possible GnuPlot setting in the nsplines package. Users would have to learn the GnuPlot syntax, the GNU Octave/SciLab command for the setting and the nsplines command for the same setting… I avoided this overhead, to obtain good results from GnuPlot users should only need to know GnuPlot commands.
