It would be very difficult to use kst in another application, and I
recommend against trying.
The model for kst is:
-app1 (that you supply) logs data to disk. Since it does not
require plotting, it can be very simple - ours is a command line app.
-kst monitors and plots the data real time as it is acquired.
(We also use a separate 'app3' which provides a gui front end to app1.)
This requires appendable file formats to work. We have successfully
used ASCII and dirfiles (http://getdata.sourceforge.net/) for this.
kst also has beta-quality python scripting which will allow a separate
python script to command kst, and send/receive data from kst. This
could
easily be adapted (with no changes to kst) to allow control of kst
from a separate C++ app.
