Guys, so many people complain about problems with gnuplot, in particular, on Windows. I feel like setting up gnuplot is way too hard for prospective users. Shell we consider providing it ourselves and make mumax3 look for it in its binaries folder?

That would indeed be a good solution for these complaints.

Another option is to remove the gnuplot dependency and use the gonum/plot package to make the plot. Let me give it a shot. If it does not work very well, I will add gnuplot to the binaries folder as you suggested.

In pull request #272 , I used the gonum/plot package to make the plot. I think that it works quite well.

@godsic @JLeliaert , what do you think? Do you have any objections against the usage of the gonum/plot package?
