[R] Calling Gnuplot from R

[Matt Shotwell]

I recently wrote a small R function to draw simple ASCII scatterplots.

Bill Harris commented that the plots reminded him of the "dumb" terminal
of Gnuplot. I think it would be really neat to have an R graphics driver
to Gnuplot in order to generate more complete ASCII graphics in R. Maybe
there are other good reasons also? I believe octave makes good use of
Gnuplot...
