摘要：Preparation of graphics for publication of scientific results can be time-consuming procedure and therefore a lot of authors is looking for the way how do it in simpler and faster manner. The paper is devoted to the facilitation of work with LaTeX environment. It shows how to automate the preparation of plots for easy use in LaTeX documents. It is realized using JSON-RPC based web services that can be available to all users. The service and the complementary web application enable to take into account user’s preferences regarding layout and appearance of resulting pictures and facilitate the picture production. The implementation was realized using two LaTeX packages: Pgfplots and Gnuplottex based on Gnuplot. Both are widely distributed, their syntax is not so difficult to learn and commands for graphics generation can be written directly in the LaTeX source code.
