I am writing an application with a native C++ computation engine (library) that generates plotable data 2d and 3d, and a plotting engine. I am trying to determine what tools/libraries to use for the plotting engine.
***2 - I've come across boost.plot and it generates svg files which have only 2D if I understood correctly, SVG doesn't express 3D, and then use a browser (chrome) or that tool that uses SVG as its native format, or use ImageDisplay for e.g.( this comes with c++ dev library, perhaps that helps to plot directly the svg without running the process externally ) Cons: no 3d (rotating and different angles) and still require external programs.
I presume you have seen Inkscape and Inkview for display - but they are still external programs but callable, and perhaps more easily (closely bound) than a browser? (I no plans for a 3D plot of SVG plotting - 3D is a quite different animal). Pros - SVG plot files are tiny and very smart ;-) Paul --- Paul A.
