Plotting vectors

[maasha]

I would like to get this example to work using ruby_gnuplot:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16541040/how-do-i-use-gnuplot-to-plot-a-simple-2d-vector-arrow

However, my attempt is not working. I think the problem is, I don't know what Dataset.new does. If this could be fixed, I would like to contribute it to the /examples.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'gnuplot'

data = [
  [0, 0,  0.5, 0.5],
  [0, 1, -0.5, 0.5],
  [1, 1,  1,   0]
]

Gnuplot.open do |gp|
  Gnuplot::Plot.new(gp) do |plot|
    plot.term   "dumb"
    plot.output "/dev/stderr"

    plot.data << Gnuplot::DataSet.new(data) do |ds|
      ds.using = "1:2:3:4"
      ds.with  = "vectors filled head lw 3"
    end
  end
end

if it gets really impossible you can always just cut a gnuplot "raw" file
instead of using the gem...for super complex things I do that.

Plotting a bunch of vectors should be dead simple. I acknowledge that GNUplot is not easily modelled with Ruby, which is a shame.
