@mhoye I have a rough time with gluplot. I've played with it and I've gotten it to make basic graphs but it always feels like I'm fighting too hard with it. Any good tutorial you'd reccomend?

@mhoye gnuplot used to be on the standard utility list for me, but IMO matplotlib has gotten to the point that it integrates well enough with other ecosystems and often produces better looking plots.

@mhoye I have been using project-oriented history for a while too, though it's based on named projects instead of directories.

I tend to leave a terminal tab open for most long-term projects, and the history module prods me for a project name when I open a new one. It also restores the right one for a given terminal ID on restore.

If it's an existing project, it'll switch to the directory I was last using for that project. It also has a little per-project init file.
