Re: New approach to generating charts in PSPP ?

[John Darrington]

I did consider GOffice, but for various reasons I decided gsegrafix
was the better way to go.

The maintainer of gsegrafix has responded to all my mail, and it seems
that he has another release up his sleave.

Feel free to give him a nudge though.

     Hi John,
     
     the original gsegrafix seems to be abandonend - the last release was 2011.
     Would it be an idea to consider the goffice graphing approach? 

     https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Goffice
     
     There is this demo for the graphing:
     
     https://github.com/GNOME/goffice/blob/master/tests/go-demo.c
     
     If you start gnumeric you can also see the interactive graph
     style changing dialog.
     
     - Gnome project under GPL3
     - gtk3 widget for graphs
     - Interactive editing already included
     - Used in gnumeric and abiword so possibly some more people
       maintaining this
