 * [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00052.html|For non-interactive applications (e.g. web) one can use R. Note that R's PNG and JPEG devices rely on having an X server present. I've had success with R producing EPS output, and then using Imagemagick's convert command, which calls Ghostscript behind the scenes, to rasterize it.]]

 * Similarly to the above, some functionalities of yorick (e.g. writing a mpeg movie using yorick-mpeg) require the openning of an X window. When I want to do it non-interactively, I use a VNC server instead of a "real" X11 display. Other "dummy" X11 servers suitable for this sort of tricks may exist. ThibautPaumard.
