Plotting libraries for .NET

[Giovanni Dicanio]

Hi,

do you know any good and free 2D and 3D plotting libraries for .NET ?

I need them for a project (which is starting as an "experiment ", and is no
commercial, at least at this first step, so the need for a free library).

I found this:

http://www.zedgraph.org/

which seems very good for 2D.

Do you know anything for 3D i.e. to plot 3D surfaces from functions of form
z=f(x,y) ?

Thanks in advance,
Giovanni

You might check codeproject.com , but I doubt they can be freely
distributed.

I wanted to mention, but completely forgot, that 3D graphs in .Net
might be rather slow. One option is to do the graphing through the
DirectX api, which would give much better performance and comes with
windows so you don't have to worry about licensing and distributing a
third party library. But on the other hand, the learning curve will
most likely be much, much steeper.

Hi,

I think ZedGraph is great!

You can see http://www.tyburn-consultancy.co.uk is of any help...

Hey, G, have you looked at Scilab? scilab.org

It's not a .Net library, but it may be something you can use.

Thanks Seth.

I know about DirectX, I also coded in C++ using it.

I was thinking about an already-built .Net component.

Thanks,
Giovanni

Thanks Bob!

I will look at it!

If Scilab is C or C++ code, I could use C++/CLI, and expose the component to
the .Net world.

Thanks,
G

Ahh, you left off your C++ MVP tag in your first post, now seeing that
I doubt the learning curve of Dx will matter!

While you're at it, check out graphviz at graphviz.org. This is the package
doxygen uses. Not 3D, but great for diagramming.

Hello Giovanni,

Do you know anything for 3D i.e. to plot 3D surfaces from functions
of form z=f(x,y) ?

You might also want to have a look at TeeChart.Lite for .NET. It's free,
unlimited and will also plot 3D surfaces. You can download it from:

http://www.steema.com/downloads/form_tch_net.html
