From: John Uebersax on 14 Sep 2009 20:17 Hello Group, I'd like to make some basic 2-D graphics -- like what I used to make using a CalComp plotter. I'm looking for something more than making x,y graphs -- i.e., to take control of the virtual 'pen' and draw arbitrary lines, labels, etc. Plotting to the screen would be okay, but making printable graphics (e.g., .gif, .jpg, .bmp) files would be better. Can anyone recommend a product -- either free or for purchase -- for this? Thanks in advance. John Uebersax http://www.john-uebersax.com
