Maybe the issue is that when one begins to write a program, the builtin
plotting commands are very quick and handy, that's why one wants to use
them.  When the program nears the production stage, it would be nice to
keep using the same commands with small and incremental variations to
get closer to professional quality.

The trick of sending the gnuplot commands to a file for further refining
satisfies this need.
