Introduction</a></h2>
PlotMM is an extension to the gtkmm library. It contains widgets which are primarily useful for technical and scientifical purposes. For the beginning, this is a 2-D plotting widget (see screenshot above).<p>
PlotMM is based in part on the work of the Qwt project (see <a href="http://qwt.sf.net/">http://qwt.sf.net/</a> for details on Qwt).<p>
PlotMM is hosted at <a href="http://plotmm.sf.net/">http://plotmm.sf.net/</a><p>
PlotMM works fine with gtkmm versions 2.0 and 2.4/2.6.<p>

<dl compact><dt><b>The features of PlotMM include:</b></dt><dd></dd></dl>
<ul>
<li>Plot Widget with tick marks, tick labels, axis labels, a title and an optional selection rectangle (grid and legend will be added soon)</li></ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>curves for 2D-data with and without errorbars; the curves can be drawn using various curve styles and symbols, each with different colors</li></ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>axes have automatic major and minor tick generation for linear and logarithmic scales and provide autoscaling</li></ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>signals allow to handle mouse events from the plot canvas</li></ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>a simple example application ("curves") shows some basics</li></ul>
<p>
<ul>
<li>a more sophisticated example application ("simple") demonstrates the use of all PlotMM classes and shows off redrawing speed for large amounts of data</li></ul>

PlotMM is a young project bringing a fast data plotting widget to the GtkMM community. You can support its success by testing new code and report your experiences back to the developers, submit bugfixes or register as a regular developer. If none of these possibilities appeal to you you might want to consider supporting PlotMM with a <a href="http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=102665"

Downloads</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Downloads are available <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102665"

<li>Anonymous CVS is also available: To be on the burning edge of PlotMM development, the CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/plotmm login
