Actually this trick works if you run the kernel from a X-terminal. But
if you send the job in a queue to a server, then it doesn't work and I
get an error message that it cannot open display and then that this
instruction needs the FrontEnd running.

I guess I should do as you said, first produce the numerical data with
the kernel and then use the FrontEnd to get the plot. But I really
don't understand this limitation, so I would be happy if there is
another trick.

Thanks again.
