 Simple C++ class for quick & dirty real-time plotting via a pipe to gnuplot
 
-Right now it's just a simple header file that allows plotting a vector of one-d or two-d data that can refresh as your program runs. I designed it for scientific computing in mind, but it might be useful in many contexts.
+Right now it's just a simple header file **graph.h** that allows plotting a vector of one-d or two-d data that can refresh as your program runs. I designed it for scientific computing in mind, but it might be useful in many contexts.
 
 Note: right now it depends on linux (not familiar with windows pipe commands), and requires an installation of gnuplot.

 This example will just plot a quadratic function, and scroll over time with a moving window over the function.
