Plotting graphs in Scalable Vector Graphics format.
Further to my post advertising Plotting graphs in Scalable Vector Graphics and inviting feedback, I am encouraged by the several ' looks neat' comments. I have now improved the documentation - and even reduced the number of typos a little ;-) (With several hundred options, effective documentation is uncommonly challenging). You will find a PDF documentation at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2007/visualization/libs/svg_plot... /pdf/svg_plot.pdf And source at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2007/visualization Boost Sandbox source code And, in case you were on vacation for my first post, some demo plots are attached for your amusement. Finally - I would like to ask how many of you were deterred from looking at the many examples of plots when you found that Microsoft Internet Explorer failed to render the files (unless you installed the Adobe SVG view add-in - and you couldn't be bothered to do that). Is this (lamentable) lack fatal to people's interest in SVG? Thank you. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

I tried to navigate that in a browser. Unfortunately it seems the html files aren't meant to be browsed in-place, at least most of the links are invalid. That's a pity.

Could you please use a more widely supported packaging / compression format ? (E.g., gzip, bz2) The pdf tutorial looks great, and I would love to see such a boost.svg library addition. (Though, this reminds me of all the discussions we have had about modularity: I think this should be a stand-alone library. But that's a completely separate discussion.) Thanks !

It would mean burdening the sandbox with all the html sub-files. I could do this but thought the pdf would suffice for now (the contents are the same but the html size even bigger).

I think this should be a stand-alone library.
Well it's header only at present and needs only an #include or two, plus a few lines of code to add to the end of your existing program. (It could be made into a library but my guess is that the benefits in compile time would be little and the total size of the .dll and .exe would be much greater.) Most the examples compile and execute in a second or two and are about 250 kb in debug and 150 kb in optimised. Paul --- Paul A.
