Sometimes I wish these plotting libraries were more portable beyond Python only. I was looking for something similar for Ruby just a while ago but the install instructions seemed out of date and unsupported on Windows.
Not sure if that is the right tutorial, but many years ago in the guile 1.x days I wrote a local visualizer for the data from a particle physics accelerator entirely in Guile and Gnuplot. It was very MVC and used guile as the controller and Gnuplot as the viewer.
Was it stupid? Yes. Did it work better than all the other tools I had at the time? Also yes.
