title: Simple real-time plotting using real-time plot data
body: <p>This question is in ref. to one of my earlier posts here:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5478466/using-koolplot-on-linux-linux-mint-10-or-is-it-for-mingw-only">Using KoolPlot On Linux (Linux Mint 10)? Or Is it for MingW Only..?</a></p>
  <p>I am not able to decide which library should I really go with  for plotting a real-time statistics data graph which should use real time incoming data streams in C++ ?</p>
  <p>I google'd and found these:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>gnuplot (confused about this one.. realtime data plot using real-time data feed..? using stdin / pipes? how?)</p>
  <p>koolplot (wish it was for linux too..am not able to find graphics.h; is it even present in ~nux'es..? )</p>
  <p>SIGL (<a href="http://www.softintegration.com/docs/ch/plot/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.softintegration.com/docs/ch/plot/</a>)
  (commercial but does provides a evaluation yet download able copy of its commercial code)</p>

  <p>Well the first question..why I am not just trying anyone of them out.. is:
  I hate to mess up with my system :( I would not like to do it now.. since I am in the middle of my engineeering project</p>
  <p>So, could somebody can just provide me with an example of which library and how can i use it to work..to plot data vars of my c++ project? I just need to plot a simple 2-d graph of the network performance statistics of my project so I would not go with for picking up data values from a stored file..so would like to do it in real-time only (still preferred) :)</p>
