Re: plotting graphs

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hi,

I'm lazily working on a NSView subclass that will do this (screen- 
shot: http://www.boyfarrell.com/forums/qdc_plot.tiff). In fact just  
today I have complete the methods that calculate tic mark spacing and  
positions... Let me know if you want to work together on something.  
The code is MESSY I need to re-work the entire thing. May be the  
other suggestion will get you results faster.

Aquaterm and gnuplot are a great combination, this is my default of  
plotting my science stuff. I never attempted Per's method of getting  
embedding aquaterm; went a little over my head!

When I was looking around for a place to start, I found this public  
source code (objective-c++; don't really feel at home) for the guys  
that made DataTank (MacOS science app). They have released their  
'foundation' code, in it is a 'SimplePlotter' example app (screen- 
shot here: http://www.boyfarrell.com/forums/simple_plotter.png) source:

Cheers,

Daniel.
