Gnuplot makes graphs like that and much better, and it is easily scriptable. I'm not to fond of gnuplot because of the license (and because the name makes you think it is a GNU program, when it isn't even GPLed), but it is a darn nice program. Integration of plotting into Fred is a different story though. Getting, or coding, a plotting class in java is probably completely managable, but there are real issues with doing graphics in java daemons. Firstly the graphics stuff has changed a lot between 1.1 and 1.2 (and Kaffe has only 1.1 support in it's AWT library), and most libraries you'll find assume 1.2. Also, I found that the IBM JVM on Linux (our prefered platform) will actually crash if you try to instantiate java.awt.Graphics or java.awt.Image classes if there is no X11 monitor present (even if there are no windows created). If somebody has any ideas, I'm all ears, but given the complication I don't think automatic plotting is worth it. <> -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
