I don't have much OLE experience, but my impression is that the app must 
support OLE.  Thus, if Gnuplot supports OLE it will be recognized as an 
OLE server. However, given Gnuplot is not a Windows app it probably 
doesn't support OLE, but it may support command-line auotmation, since 
alot of *NIX apps incorporate that ability (see 
http://rgnuplot.sourceforge.net/).  You could also check for Ruby 
libraries that provide similar functionality, i.e. 
http://rgplot.rubyforge.org/

cheers
Chris
