Unlike other packages **Gnuplot.jl** is not a pure Julia solution as it depends on an external package to actually generate plots. However, if gnuplot is not available on a given platform, the package could still be used in "*dry*" mode, and no error for a missing dependency will be raised (see [Dry sessions](@ref)).
