plot array outside of C-program

Hello,

C newbie here. I'd like to be able to plot a simple line graph of an array created in my C-program. I can easily plot an array with Octave but how do I get an array from my C-program to Octave?

Thanks for any help,
OJ

myprog | octave

Basically, you find out what sort of inputs your plot program can cope with (say from stdin) and you make your C program conform to that interface.

If it's particularly crusty, you may need a file
myprog -out=temp.txt
octave -in=temp.txt


Essentially, a series of printf statements to output the array as text is one way.

Thanks for the reply.
I think i kind of did like you said. I sent my output to a text file, then that file into octave.

Thanks again,
OJ
