i am looking for advice. my application needs to be able to plot simple 2D X-Y curves from data stored in a text file. secondly, i need to be able to pick off points from this window with the mouse, and have the routine return the location of the nearest data point. it's been a while since i've done any X programming. there's a lot of new libraries/widget creation software out there, and I don't know the best libraries to start looking at for these types of routines. any ideas on where to begin? thanks a lot! - dave carter@mustang.mst6.lanl.gov
