fortran90-call-gnuplot-test

This is a test to try calling Gnuplot from a Fortran 90 script. The compiler used is GFortran.

The main program generates 3D data of the function

$$ f(x, y) = \cos\left(x^2+y^2\right) + \sin\left(x+y\right) $$

in a suitable format for Gnuplot storing it in the file data.txt. Then, it calls Gnuplot for plotting the generated data using the commands from the file gnuplot_script.plt.

The resulting plot is
