[comp.windows.x] advice on toolkits wanted

carter@ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov (Dave Carter) (09/21/90)

i am looking for some advice.  i need to write some graphical tools to
manipulate two-dimensional data, as in X-Y plots.  i am looking for
tools which will allow me to easily display X-Y plots from raw ascii
data files (automatic scaling, and all that) and then be able to let
the user pick off points on this plot with the mouse, (these points to
be used in further computations.)  it's been a while since i've done
any programming in X, and i really don't know what's available, for
this kind of problem.

please reply by e-mail.  thanks!
