Well, that was lot of information and it took me a while to digest it all. > Narrow the scope a bit; what's more important?
I am looking for excel-like charts for a business application. Therefore no immediate need for math functions etc. One functionality I would love is a 'tool-tip' that would pop-up with the value of the data-point when the user moves the mouse on a data point (like excel). Other than that, pretty much some bars, lines, pies etc. Speed is definitely a concern 'cos I want to generate the graphs dynamically based on the user selection of data-points (data selection will be done using TreeView or something). Quality is not that big a concern b'cos my idea of the graph is to just to give a quick visual cue to the user. > Just for the record, gnuplot works very well on win32 (IMO, anyway) Yes ! Gnuplot indeed seems to work fine on win32. I've been playing with it for a couple of days. I haven't done any heavy lifting yet but so far it seems pretty good. > Chart::Graph::Gnuplot (part of Chart::Graph) I downloaded this module and played with it. Needs some polishing to run on win32. I looked at the source code and my guess is that it can be easily patched to work on win32. > it looks like the gtkextra-2.0 API is a little more binding-friendly, > but i'm a little unnerved that they don't appear to have released out > of cvs. On a slight offnote, I've seen that they've recently patched the gtksheet. I guess development is not as dead as I thought to be in that part of the world. But still their release cycle seems mysterious to me too. > There's also Ploticus .... I'm yet to play with Ploticus. But it may actually fit my needs from what I read on their site. I guess Grace and jpgraph may meet similar needs too. If I go that route, I just have to decide which one is cleaner to wrap in perl and pipe to Gtk2. To summarize, I haven't yet decided which path to take.
