Re: Interactive data plotting application

[Jean Bréfort <jean brefort normalesup org>]

Hi Jozef,

Such a widget already exists in GOffice (it provides the charting
capability to gnumeric). It might miss some features you need but is
easily extensible.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/goffice/tree/goffice/gtk/go-graph-widget.c

Best regards,
Jean
