Hello,

I have not made many experiments with this type of things, but something 
similar to this code could be of inspiration for you:

(%i1) load(draw)$
(%i2) draw2d(explicit(sin(x),x,0,10))$
(%i3) gnuplot_replot("set multiplot")$
(%i4) gnuplot_replot("plot cos(x)")$

Time ago I put in my draw-todo list to write a sort of interface between 
the draw syntax and the gnuplot_replot function (this is not the first 
time this question appears in the mailing list). I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, if you are looking for animations, there are some 
examples in

In particular, see the 'terminal = animated_gif' option. But I'm not 
sure this is what you are looking for.
