Hello,
I am a level 4 undergraduate of University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, following
a Computer Science & Engineering Major. I'm very much interested in the
above project idea. I have already developed a 2D and 3D graph plotting
application in Visual Basic. I was dreaming of developing a graph plotting
library in C++ that has the similar plotting features like famous
application called MATLAB.
* 2D plots
* 3D plots (Mesh & Surface)
* Pie charts, Bar Charts, etc..
* Axis labels, Scale, Grid, Legend
* Multiple Graphs on the same figure. (Subplots)
I would like to develop the solution in the following way.
- Generic SVG library that exposes the primitive operations on SVG DOM
- Graph plotting library
- Generic plotting interface that exposes high level plotting
operations to plot graphs from functions & C++ containers
- A specific plotting implementation derived from generic one
that uses the SVG library to carry out plotting operations.
By doing it in above way I wish to improve the re-usability and
theflexibilityof the code.
1. We can re-use the generic SVG library
2. Someone can derive different plotting libraries from generic one
and use without changing the client code. (Eg:- Plot to screen, Plot to a
document etc..)
Can you please comment on above ideas. I'm looking forward for your kind
comments.
Thanks
Kasun
