The Gnuplot module as updated by Michael Haggerty
(http://monsoon.harvard.edu/~mhagger/download/) puts the data into
temporary files.  Pipes are used for commands only.  If you haven't
used it recently, you might want to try it again.

True, they're not quite mature enough for a lot of work.  However,
since there don't seem to be many other contenders available for you,
banging on Graphite and PIDDLE to add the capabilities you need might
be faster.

Hope your problems get solved!
