Google SoC 2007 SVG Project [Boost]
Hey ! I hope it works this time. My message body wasn't sent last time and I was told to close the HTML editor and so I did. Here's my original question: I think I have spotted a contradiction (or at least a point that is not clear) in the SVG project.In the introduction, the author points the need to "[evaluate] a function like sin over a range and [get] a compact scalable graphic that can easily be added to documents" however in the "goal" section, the author says: "Goal: To write C++ templated functions to allow data in C++ arrays and STL containers, vector is an obvious one, to produce a file, for example, in SVG format (XML)." The latter seems to be more like simply plotting points while the first rather seems like plotting the function over a given range. I am really interested in this entry however I would like to have a really good idea of what has to be done and how I will do it before even sending my subscribtion for GSoC. Thanks a lot to all ideas and suggestions ! Alexandre P-L.
Sorry this isn't clear. I'd like (and I think many others would too) To plot simple graphs of the style in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution of 1 functions (over a specified range) 2 Ones own data - probably actual measurements of some sort. Since it is fairly easy to fill a container of some sort with values from a function over a range, I suggest the project should concentrate on plotting data that is already in a container (STL vector for example). You could do 1, 2 and perhaps 3 dimensional data - 1 D would be repeat measurements distribution on a line. 2 D is traditional x - y plots 3d is x, y and z Hope this is clearer - but you can chose what you submit too.
