+# Plots with ROOTs: Resilient data visualization with Emacs, Org and gnuplot
+Lukas C. Bossert (he/him) - <mailto:bossert@itc.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/plots-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+A figure in a report is easy to copy—and surprisingly easy to detach
+from the data, decisions and code that produced it. What would change if
+the plot were a reproducible result of the document rather than an image
+pasted into it?
+
+This talk develops a small report in Org mode, moving from a named table
+to gnuplot figures and publication outputs. Working in Doom Emacs, I
+will demonstrate direct table plotting, explicit plotting code with Org
+Babel, and reusable figure styles through Noweb references. A single
+corrected value provides the central demonstration: after re-execution,
+the figure and calculated summary change together, while the
+interpretation still requires human review.
+
+The workflow is guided by ROOT [1] —Robust, Open, Ongoing and
+Time-tested— my framework for thinking about resilient technologies.
+Rather than equating resilience with the age of a tool, I ask whether a
+workflow can be inspected, understood, repaired and handed over. Keeping
+data, plotting instructions and explanation connected is one practical
+response.
+
+The talk also addresses the less glamorous parts of reproducibility:
+hidden session state, stale results, external dependencies, output
+formats and the difference between regenerating a figure and exporting a
+document.
+
+Participants will leave with a small Org-based example and a pattern
+they can adapt for research reports, teaching materials or personal
+data. Basic familiarity with Org mode is helpful; no prior experience
+with gnuplot is required. The demonstration uses Doom Emacs, but the
+underlying workflow is not Doom-specific.

+About the speaker:
+
+Lukas C. Bossert works in research data management at RWTH Aachen
+University’s IT Center. The ROOT concept—Robust, Open, Ongoing and
+Time-tested—asks how digital workflows can remain understandable,
+maintainable and reusable. In “Plots with ROOTs,” Lukas demonstrates a
+report-building workflow that keeps data, plotting instructions and
+explanations connected through Emacs, Org and gnuplot.
