Hello All.
This is my first post. I would really appreciate if you can help me in a project I have to complete as soon as possible:crying:

anyway, the thing is this:

I have a bunch of numerical data in any format (say an excel page with 3D vectors, or a text file with the same 3D (x,y,z) vectors) and I have to represent them in graphical form (as for example arrows).

What tool do you think I should use?


Thanks a lot in advance:c-smile:

I believe there are a few .NET libraries for graphing out there, it depends on the language you did not specify. There is also the GraphVis library.

There are a LOT of tools for this, from Python libraries to OpenGL (in various languages), to ... What are you familiar with?

Thank you very much for your replies.

My apologies for being vague :blushing: I did it in order to give people more freedom to recommend me possibilities...

Anyway, I am particularly familiar with C, C++ and Objective-C... a little less Java

Of course this doesn't stop me from learning a new tool if I have too (script languages, etc) I just dont want to start learning something that in the end it wont help me- due to the time constraints of this project...

I ve heard something about VTK.. but cant seem to make it work (granted I started yesterday at night)

anyway, any particular recommendation?

Thanks a thousand!

what happened to my reply??


thank you for the advice. I didnt want to be specific to give ample freedom to any advice. I am particularly fond of C, C++ and Java but I have no problem learning a new tool if necessary. I just dont want to learn something that is not useful due to time constraints...

Any advice taking that into account?

For C++ there is gnuplot++: Gnuplot API using C++ (GNUplot++) as well as Boost's own graphing library The Boost Graph Library

There is also a nice thread writeup of choices previously asked here:
Graph drawing C++ library? - Stack Overflow

Do any of those satisfy your graphing needs? I think those are what you were looking for.

If you also interested in commercial product (although they also have free lite version) you may want to check TeeChart library from this site: Chart Components by Steema, NET Charting, VCL, ActiveX, Java and PHP Data Visualization. I use their product in all my programs that show data in graphical form. Very easy to use.

Hello everybody

Just to report, I finally finished using a tool called DISLIN. It is quite neat actually. I am writing the program in C. (couldnt manage figure out how to use C++ for this one):c-blink:

Your post was not there because it had a link in it, I approved it (it happens often, forum's fault), I am glad you could find a tool suited for your charting, I had a look and I like the look of it.

It's ok, your reply went through. Congrats, DISLIN looks really cool.
