Depends on your platform. There is nothing like that when using cdb.

When using gdb or lldb you can do anything in the python dumpers, 
including feeding data to external processes with or without gui.
There's an example use for displaying QVector<scalar_type> using
gnuplot in the current sources (dumper.py/qttypes.py)
