Re: New approach to generating charts in PSPP ?

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi John,

the original gsegrafix seems to be abandonend - the last release was 2011.
Would it be an idea to consider the goffice graphing approach? 

https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Goffice

There is this demo for the graphing:

https://github.com/GNOME/goffice/blob/master/tests/go-demo.c

If you start gnumeric you can also see the interactive graph
style changing dialog.

- Gnome project under GPL3
- gtk3 widget for graphs
- Interactive editing already included
- Used in gnumeric and abiword so possibly some more people
  maintaining this
