. . .

I am also looking for the same type of library.  Please email me or
reply in this news group if you know of any.  Thanks!

If you are just plotting functions you might look at one of
the integrated scientific packages such as PV-Wave, O-Matrix or
MATlAB.

Try tgraf011.zip from SimTel or CICA ftp.

Please respond to the post.  None of the above are inexpensive,
least of all PV-WAVE!

Look at Graphics Server SDK from Bits per Second.  You get a VBX graph control
and C++ classes.

Hope this helps

Sorry I came in on the end of this one.  I've had very good luck with the 
scientific graphics routines from John Jakbob at ZGRAF.  He sells source 
code, doesn't ask for distribution royalties, includes good documentation 
and example code, and gives free upgrades via his BBS for 1 yr.  It's 
callable from C or C++.  It runs just fine under 16 or 32 bit.  And all 
for $45!  (Some of his products cost more, but you get the idea.)  His 
Web page is
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ZGRAF
His BBS is [812] 949-0416; voice is [812] 949-9524
I haven't any financial interest in his product or success, I just think 
he's doing something good.
Regards,  Nelson Wallace

The above sounds like a description of the PRL libraries - source
included, no royalties, good documentation, plenty of test/demo
programs, and free support and upgrades for 1 year.  Most PRL libraries
are only slightly higher than $45 (but not much more), unless you
run Linux, in which case a free binary version is available.  The
main difference is PRL is supported under Fortran rather than C,
although some users are calling it from C, and at least one user
is driving it from Ada on a VMS Alpha system.

So maybe it's a coin toss between ZGRAF and PRL, but maybe not.
To find out, check his web page and download his documentation and
demo code, and then check PRL at http://www.iah.com/oa/ and download
the PRL docs and demo code for Linux (it's the same on all systems).

After that, post your opinions.  Be interested in hearing them.
