Alan,

I don't use gri.  I have had a quick look at it and it should be
possible (for others, not me :() to create an org-babel interface for
this.  If you have any elisp knowledge, you could try starting from
one of the existing language implementations.  You could also try to
use the support for sh in org-babel but you'd have to get the table
data into a file first.  Others may have more reasonable suggestions,
however...

I am surprised, however, at this comment:

in what way does gnuplot fall short in terms of quality?  (but keep
this part of the conversatino off-list please to avoid annoying others)
