Well, so after reading and reading again about gnuplot, and MathGL (that is a good lib too), i've made my own opinion. What we need is nor the beauty of a spreadsheet tool, nor the power of a scientist renderer. I think there is a place for a simple tool in gambas that allow to draw basic 1D, 2D graph. This tool will never have the power of a gnuPlot Tool on rendering 3D Matrix Array. But it can have more style options for a better render on apps and reports.
Then I imagin a dynamic tool that allow user interraction too... why not allow a user to modify the data directly from the chart widget ?... Why not allow the chart to query the data on real time ? (via an event ) the chart renderer will have two level a drawing class and a viewer... Like gb.map. So it can be used then in report, or every where it can be drawed every where. The first gb.chart was my first component ... and yes i have to rewritte all, but with my new skills i hope to provide you a better tool. 2013/10/15 richard terry <rte...@internode.on.net> > As I've previously mentioned we use gnuPlot with great success, shell > out the data and get back the path to the png image generated to display > where you want. > > regards > > richard > > On 14/10/13 17:30, Randall Morgan wrote: > > NO, I allow python to open the chart window so it floats above the Gambas > > application.
