I need recommendations for a scientific app I'm making, here's what i need, in order of importance 1) Strong/Complete 2d/3d plotting widgets for both data and functions 2) Realtime 2d-plotting 3) cross platform across X and win32 4) free/cheap 5) minimalistic I've used wxWindows for non-technical programs and thought it was pretty good, but the built in plot widget (wxPlotWindow) sucks. Qt seems to have 1-3 but the the licensing fees scares me. are there any less-famous toolkits I should be looking at? thanks, J Back to top Phlip Guest Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 5:36 am    Post subject: Re: Gui toolkit for scientific/technical apps?

It comes with Python MegaWidgets. BLT has the most programmable features and the fewest automatic end-user features. BTW what the f*** does this question have to do with the C++ programming language? All those packages come with bindings for much easier languages. -- Phlip http://industrialxp.org/community/bin/view/Main/TestFirstUserInterfaces Back to top one2001boy@yahoo.com Guest Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2004 8:50 pm    Post subject: Re: Gui toolkit for scientific/technical apps?

It supports 2D/3D C++ plottings, C99 complex, and extentions with Matlab or Mathematica like numerical features. It runs in Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
