Need recs on the best graphing interface

Hi,

I have looked through the previous suggestions on graphing modules and
have been able to find some good suggestions. However I was wondering
about something more specific. I am going to write a program that
tracks stock prices and other financial related charts, so I need to
use the classic stock chart. From the ones I've seen, the graphing
modules deal mostly with scientific plotting and do not have the
"high/low" type charts.

Does anyone know of a module that contains this type of chart, or one
that can be converted? I was hoping to find one that has done some of
this before I start doing it myself.

Thanks,
Marc

I do believe that matplotlib does do nice financial charts. E.g.

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/sc...ork2_large.png

Given that the main author now works at a financial firm, it better.

Would anyone care to recommend a good graphing package (commercial or otherwise)? I've looked at some of the PEAR Image packages - The only graphing package is still alpha quality. One particularly interesting feature would be to display data as in a 'strip chart' recorder, i.e., the graph scrolls across the web page. Any suggestions/pointers would be much appreciated. Michael

Hi All, I'm having a problem with some VBA code in one of my Access 2003 databases. I'm getting the following error when running code behind a command button on a form: "Item not found in this collection". I suspect it has something to do with parameters in the query I'm calling. I need to pass an object on the form to a parameter in the query, and the query is quite complex as well. Here is the query:

Hi, I've just released a full-featured online graphing calculator at http://www.e-tutor.com/et2/graphing/ It requires no downloads or plugins - just JavaScript. You can track points on the curve, graph multiple functions, and more. A lot of this functionality is implemented in JavaScript. I'm very interested in hearing people's feature requests.

I am writing a program to simulate a double displacement reaction getting to equilibrium, but I am having some trouble graphing the particles' concentrations. It seems that it's only possible to pan and zoom the graph once the program exits (when running it from IDLE), but I don't want to have to kill the sim every time I want to view the graph (besides, when I do, the graph window dissappears). The following code contains all the graphing...

Hey all - I'm attempting to write a program that accesses a database, runs some calculations according to user input, and then creates some graphs from the results. The first two steps were pretty simple, but I was disappointed to discover that VB.NET (at least the express edition) doesn't have any sort of built in graphing controls. My original thought is that one could snag the class library from excel and create one's own chart object on a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
