I was going to mention that. I could recognize Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, and Ken Thompson, but I have never heard of Lorinda Cherry [1]. Apparently, I should have, because she essentially inspired gnu plot utils, which must have had some influence on future plot utilities(?)

I don't know that gnuplot wasn't inspired by her work (it might have been). The wiki article you linked mentions GNU plotutils, which is different than gnuplot (gnuplot is not affiliated with GNU).
