You could look into gnuplot.
Looks promising, but tiresome that it doesn't output in .png and so a separate step is needed, which makes full automation difficult.
Oh, but it does! :-)
set terminal png <options>
Great! - though the FAQ I read didn't say this - it suggests using Imagemagick.
I like the potential to write the gnuplot script from the C++ program (as well as csv data file) and run gnuplot as a Windows Post-build step?
I'm a linux guy ... I wouldn't know how to help you in Windows.
But it isn't so nice that I intend to start to re-do all the Math Toolkit graphs.
I hear you :-) When I read your first email in this thread I thought to myself, "Brave man ... I'd probably just keep doing what I was doing to avoid the pain of migrating" :-)
Well I have other plotting to do, so I might explore this. Many thanks. Paul PS Comments on the Math Toolkit code and docs will be most welcome in the pre-review period. The text is now so familiar that proof-reading has become difficult for John and I. --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
