Rendering
Interactive rendering using VTK/OpenGL, with an emphasis on performance and scalability.
* Alternate backend to produce publication quality output? * Possibility to extend the API to 3D charts in the future?
Chart Types
* XY plot * Scatter * Bar chart * Histogram * Stack chart * Pie chart * Parallel axes * Tree map * Bubble chart
Existing Applications/Libraries
Below is a summary of different libraries or applications that produce 2D charts and plots. Those listed either provide both screen and publication quality rendering, or just screen rendering.
Optimized for Screen Rendering
* prefuse * tableau * Many Eyes * Google Chart * Qwt * QwtPlot3D * QPlotter
Multiple Backends (Publication Quality)
* PLPlot * gnuplot * matplotlib * Veusz * Grace * GLE
