I am in need of a high-level scientific plotting program for the IBM PC. I have written a small but nice program in Turbo C, but it would be much better if I could have something already written. Many programs exist on the market for doing what I want, but they cost upwards of $600! I simply need a reliable program which will automatically scale and plot functions and data. The catch is that I need something compatible with Turbo C, either a library which I can link in, or a source code listing (preferable). This sounds like an easy thing to write oneself, but if you've ever tried, it's not quite so simple as you might think. The kind of thing I am looking for is NOT a Dr Halo - type library; it is something that will automatically scale and plot nicely functions in 2-D (or 3-D) with log or lin scales and is callable from Turbo C. I would appreciate anyone's help. If anyone is interested, I have begun writing routines which do what I describe above, but they still contain a few bugs and are a bare minimum.
