Re: Support for graphs/charts in gtk?

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Plotting is one area where Gtk lacks behind Qt with one exception, and that is if your using python, where you have available matplotlib (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) . There are a few C-based graph libraries for gtk, but they are quite feature-weak:

• GtkPlot - part of GtkExtra (Get the gtkextra3 branch from svn that supports cario).
• GtkDataBox - (http://www.eudoxos.net/gtk/gtkdatabox/)

Here's one more link if you want to draw a pie chart on your own:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am interested in creating a program to parse output from a logfile on a remote server and display the information in a graphical format (time series, pie charts etc...), something similar to the glTail project but without the need for OpenGL. One thing I was interested is in how much support the gtk libraries have for charts/graphs etc...

On the GTK+ Features Page it mentions most of the expected WIMP elements (Windows, Labels, Buttons, Check Boxes, Tree View, etc...) but it doesn't mention any libraries for making custom graphs and charts. Does anyone know if the GTK+ libraries support this function or is it better for me to try to find a different library? Also, if anyone knows of any other programs that have advanced charting/graph features that use the GTK+

Thank you,
