Don't choose either of these without at least first considering tk over 
python (www.python.org). Though one could run into religious wars 
comparing perl and python, I'm certainly happier modularising python than 
I was with perl, and tk seems to be well integrated. I'm in the early 
stages of a project with them myself.

Couldn't disagree with another's mention of gnuplot.

Have a look at python also.

I'd definitely go with perl-tk for this.  IIRC, it'll do your graphing,
too.

Take a look at gnuplot, it can do wonderful things with graphs.

A debian-user question.

1998-06-09 Thread Karsten Bolding
This is not a debian specific question - but its asked by a debian user
and will be used on a debian system...

I'm in the process of writing a frontend to a turbulence modelling
system.
For the GUI I'm thinking of either perl-tk or using the visual tcl
package - any opinions? The GUI will contain radio-buttons,
entry-fields, file-browser etc. to specify the different parameters for
the model.

My real question concerns a package that will do real time plotting of
the results of the turbulence modelling - this is simple X-Y graphs but
they evolve over time so I need to - at run time - update the graphs
based on the results of the turbulence calculations. Since I'm not at
all a X-programmer I would like something a bit more high-level.

If this is going to work - the resulting code would be an example of
very specialized open-source code.

Karsten
