Would it be preferable if gnuplot's "show <foo>" command produced output
corresponding to the input syntax, just as "save" does now?
For example, for "show title"
current output:
title is "Foo", offset at ((character units) 0, 0, 0)
equivalent line in "save" corresponds in input syntax:
set title "Foo" offset character 0, 0, 0 font "" norotate

Can it not read back synchronously?
fprintf(GNUPLOT_OUT,"save '| outpipe'\n");
fflush(GNUPLOT_OUT);
while ( fgets(&line, sizeof(line), GNUPLOT_INPIPE) )
look_for_desired_option(&line);
