That's right, sorry for the imprecision.

The former, so far (despite it may look as if the Gnuplot
window is part of the GNUmed window in the screenshot).

I thought about displaying the plot INSIDE the edit area as
soon as both test result type and value have been entered
but I couldn't get myself to decide on the visual how's and
where's. I guess that's one more cue that perhaps we are at
a point where we've gathered sufficient breadth of data
capture as to eventually wrap around to a more Richard'ly
layout (in which there'd be a natural place to display the
inline plot, namely in the middle). I will need to think on
that.
