title: Easy way to plot and display arrays?
body: <p>First post here. Using C in Visual Studio 2008. Can work with VS 2005 if necessary.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How do I display numerical data in arrays as in a spreadsheet?</li>
  <li>How do I plot numerical data in arrays?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>These seem to be simple questions. But I cannot find solutions. So far, I would print the data to a file, import into Excel and view/plot. However, with this code there are too many arrays--so the print/import/plot is tiring.
  Some constraints.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I do not want to write 20+ lines of code to do the above. MATFOR or Array Visualizer let you do the plotting with a one line function call.</li>
  <li>They cannot display the data in a convenient format. I would like to display the data and the plot in one or two windows so that they are visible simultaneously.</li>
  <li>This is a win32 console application---all the code is portable.</li>
  <li>Will be using these during debugging.</li>
  <li>Free or paid.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>While I am looking for something specific, the requirements are substantially the same for any one doing numerical work with arrays and matrices--displaying data and plot simultaneously.
  I am hoping that a such a tool has been written and is available.
  I am also open to a solution that outputs the array data to an Excel sheet (can keep Excel open) and if it can also plot that can be great but I can live without plotting.</p>
  
  <p>PS: I need this only when debugging the code.</p>
