I consider using gnuplot for producing charts for latex documents. I
have the data in (x,y) coordinates that represent points that must be
interconnected by lines. Only adjacent points should be connected, i.e.

a line should be drawn from point 1 to point 2, another line should be
drawn from point 2 to point 3, and so on. What is the preferred method
to accomplish this and export the graphics into some format that latex
can read? Please, have in mind, that there might be a large number of
points and the coordinates may change in the future so that I may need
to redraw the chart with the new data.


"set style data lines" or "plot 'myfile.dat' with lines".

I normally output to EPS -- "set term postscript eps color enhanced" --
and import the result into LaTeX.
