in this case case, if you want no-X than you should probably use gnuplot 
directly, maybe using the approach that john uses -- use octave to do the 
calculations ans output the results to a file, and then use gnuplot to 
produce graphs from the files. gnuplot can produce files in a variety of 
formats without any X necessary
