GRAPHING

[drpierce]

I've looked over the scigraph example and the other posts here on the message board.

Everything seems to be geared toward displaying the graphs on the screen.

I've been asked to replace a routine that contructs the plots and creates a postscript file.

Since I don't know postscript - I'm looking for another method of creating the plots and storing them to a file for printing.

I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks

See the sample that comes with my XFTGDI library. It can produce graph one the screen, printer, bitmap or metafile (.wmf). It should be even able to produce postscript in indirect way -- IIRC "print to file" with a PostScript printer driver produces a .ps file.

The PSPLOT library generates PostScript graphics. For more information, see:

If you do lots of graphing I recommend using a Grafic library like WINTERACTER.
see: http://www.winteracter.com/index.htm
With this you can also easily do Postscript output beside may others.

I use Excel
I put all the data in csv files.
Then I have an Excel addin the has macros and a tool bar that does the charting.

This has the following advantages
) I run the macro from my vb5 front end so to user, he clicks on my program menu, and the chart and data appear in excel
) Most users are familiar with excel and can make changes to scales etc, and even calc and plot data derived from my program results
) pasting into reports etc is easy
) New features put in Excel automatically appear as part of charts generated by my code.
) Users can do charting directly from excel by loading the csv file, adding the addin and running the macro.
