Dear All

Please excuse a question from a WWW newbie.  We are writing a web page
which includes a graph based on input data supplied by the user.  At
this stage we are experimenting with gnuplot to generate the graph.  Our
CGI scripts are written in C.

What is unclear is how to incorporate this graphing function into our
CGI scripts so that the graph appears "on the fly" with user supplied
data.  Can gnuplot be called from the CGI script to generate say a
postscript format of the graph which we then send to convert to generate
a .gif file which can then be displayed on the web page.  If so how?  If
not any suggestions on how to perform this function?

Many thanks for your help!
