gnuplot-kernel 0.5.0

A gnuplot kernel for Jupyter

A Jupyter/IPython kernel for Gnuplot

gnuplot_kernel has been developed for use specifically with Jupyter Notebook. It can also be loaded as an IPython extension allowing for gnuplot code in the same notebook as python code.

Installation

It is good practice to install gnuplot_kernel in a virtual environment. We recommend using uv or python venv.

Option 1: Using uv

$ uv venv

Official release

$ uv pip install gnuplot_kernel
$ uv run python -m gnuplot_kernel install --user

The last command installs a kernel spec file for the current python installation. This is the file that allows you to choose a jupyter kernel in a notebook.

Development version

$ uv pip install git+https://github.com/has2k1/gnuplot_kernel.git@master
$ uv run python -m gnuplot_kernel install --user

Option 2: Using python venv

$ python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

Official release

$ pip install gnuplot_kernel
$ python -m gnuplot_kernel install --user

Development version

$ pip install git+https://github.com/has2k1/gnuplot_kernel.git@master
