I just used PTPLOT3.1 to make a program that creates histograms,
barcharts, and time plots. I can send an example, its not perfect
because it has some bugs that stop swarm from shutting down. But it is
perfectly nice looking, you should get the ptplot library and try it
out.
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/java/ptplot3.1/ptolemy/plot/doc/index.htm
In the users-contrib dir at ftp.swarm.org, there is an app called jipd
that uses ptplot, and it is fun to see too, and it shuts down nicely.
Now, in the "recruiting volunteers" department:
On another front, I've been trying to write (in JAVA) a replacement for
Swarm's ZoomRaster. I want to do this because Java will let me write
text on the raster, and it has some other features I like. I'm about
1/2 of the way there, but could use one or a few Java programmers to
take a look and give me some ideas. And answer some questions. If you
might be interested, email me and we can get this taken care of. I've
got a working program example to show you, but it lacks many of the
methods we will have to implement to have a complete replacement for
ZoomRaster.
