How to use gnuPlot in wxWidget project

Hi,
I am working on project in which I want to plot graph. I use WxWidgets to create the GUI. My goal is to display a graph on a wxAuiNotebook page. After a long time to look for a library to deal with graph, I found that gnuPlot works well. So my question is "How can use gnuplot to display graph in a wxAuiNotebook page?" Or is there other libraries? Thanks in advance
Best regards,
S.T.

I don't know gnuPlot, so i can't tell how hard it would be to use it from inside wxWidgets.
Depending on what kind of graph you need, check out wxFreeChart and wxMathPlot first:

If you are using a newer version of wxWidgets (I think >= 3.0) and you want to use wxFreeChart, then you might like to try this version which has some bug fixes:

Thanks for your answers. In fact I want to display mainly curves and histogram. Concerning the "wxFreeChart", is still maintained? I found that wxArd2D works well; What do you think about.

No, it is not actively maintained. PB and myself have made some recent changes to fix bugs and improve performance, but no real active development work.
That said, depending on what you need, it does what it does quite well and is documented. Also you are welcome to report any issues or suggestions you may have.

Thank you for your answer. Finally I will use wxFreeChart. Concerning GnuPlot, it seems to be used as terminal not as library that we can integrate in a wxWidgets project. Thanks!
best regards,

I try to build "wxFreeChart" with MinGW (on Eclipse) like this :

It seems that the maker uses the libraries of wxWidgets 2.8. However I use wxWidgets 3.1.0. How can I solve this problem. Thanks you in advance.

I solved my problem by adding the option "VERSION" like this :
Code: Select all
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc WX_DIR=%WxLIBS% WX_UNICODE=1 WX_DEBUG=1 WX_SHARED=1 WX_VERSION=31 SHARED=1
However another problem occur :

Hi,
Are you linking with AUI library?
Please show the command used for linking...
Thank you.

Hi,
please find below the commande line that I used to compile wxFreeChart library :
Code: Select all
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc WX_DIR=D:\Worskspace\Libs\wxWidgets-3.1.0 WX_UNICODE=1 WX_DEBUG=1 WX_SHARED=1 WX_VERSION=31 SHARED=1

Hi,
After checking the makefile.gcc content, it seemed that the commande line defined at line 294 :
Code: Select all
ifeq ($(WX_MONOLITHIC),0)
__WXLIB_AUI_NAME_p = -lwxmsw$(WX_VERSION)$(WXLIBPOSTFIX)_aui
endif
is not taken into account at line 378 :
Code: Select all
ifeq ($(WX_SHARED),1)
..\sample\wxFreeChartDemo_dll.exe: $(WXFREECHARTDEMO_DLL_OBJECTS) make_sample_dir_wxFreeChartDemo_dll $(__wxfreechart_dll___depname)

endif
In fact, when I compile, I have the following outputs on the MS DOS
wxWidgets-3.1.0\lib\gcc_dll -g -L..\lib\gcc_dll -Wl,--out-implib=..\lib\gcc_dll\
libwxcode_msw31ud_freechart.a -lwxmsw31ud_core -lwxbase31ud -lwxtiffd -lwxjpeg

Obviously, the AUI library is not taken into account. Please help me!!!

Hi,
Could you try manually add the missing aui library and see if it compiles?
Thank you.

Hi,
All is OK now. I just add manually the missing lib as @ONEEYEMAN suggested. Thanks you very much for your availability and helps.

Another question concerning wxFreeChart : is It possible to plot 4 graphs for example in the same windows, i.e. split window into 4?

is it also possible to zoom plot?
