[vtkusers] Is VTK suitable for mathematical function graphing ?

[Gopalakrishnan, Gowri]

Yes I agree with Prabhu that VTK can do 3d, 2d plotting. But you have to
remeber that it is not a plotting tool and graphical tool, so if you are
interested in serious plotting (even like xmgr) then it is not
necessary to use VTK. The other tools are much more easy to use and
easy to learn for that purpose. But if 
you are interested in simple plots then VTK can do it well and the 3d
plotting is very nice with VTK. I am using VTK now to do 2d and 3d plotting.
But since i am more interested in 3d representation I like to use 
VTK, but if i were more interested in plotting (graphs etc) i would go for
xgr, gnuplot like tools.

Sorry for the newbie question, but I've been very
impressed with what I've seen thus far with VTK
graphically, and I was wondering if it can be used to
display 2D and 3D function plots, in the manner of
Matlab, Mathematica, gnuplot, etc.  Is it set up for
that sort of thing?

Thanks,
CY
