Ploting graphic

[Massimo Morin]

Hi David,
	it is along time (almost 3 years) I do not work with graphs and chart
but I was always fashinated by them.
I'm sorry but right now I cannot help you much on improving KPlotW, but
if you are looking for ideas on how to implement some functionality, or
what are the most useful functionality to have in a charting library
I'll be very happy to give you a couple of hints.

I'm sure you have plenty of ideas on what to add to KPlotW but, IMHO, 
the first think you may take a look for "stealing" some ideas/design is
the BLT package for TCL: it is one of the most powerfull one and
everytime I used it I was amazed! (I was able to get Gant Chart out of
the basic chart widget!)

A link is 
http://www.tcltk.com/blt/
The best way to understand it, is to see it in action: download tcl/tk
and blt and run the examples.

Hope this will be useful
