What could be easier to use than an output command that brings up a 
graphics utility with calculated data displayed in a graph? Zoom buttons 
are to the left, values can be read by moving the mouse cursor to the 
desired point. If the calculation of a waveform takes some time, the 
graph will automatically grow while the results come pouring in. All of 
this can be achieved with a couple of commands piped to xmgrace.

Still, it is a lot more hassle than just reading the docs of xmgrace and 
issue a few xmgrace commands with a gnuplot output function. You get a 
simple plot plus an interface for advanced usage for free. No printing 
issues to worry about, no user whining on missing options to beautify the 
graphs.
