Hi alessandro, 

(sorry for the PM, last mail should go to the mailinglist)

your code seems to be ok.  But you need a template to the gnuplot code
in data/templates/_gnuplot.gnu. I attached a template[1] that should work.

best regards,
 stefan

[1] I do not know gnuplot, maybe there are better commands to produce a
png file.
