Hi,
I need to plot a simple X-Y graph in C++. It is just one function of my code and I have the X and Y coordinates. Can it be done without using external libraries?
Btw, I am using Code::Blocks

Can what be done? Plotting a graph is a mathematical problem and has nothing to do with computing, let alone C++. However if you want to display your graph in some way then there are various ways of accomplishing it. Perhaps you could explain what it is you want to display, and in what format.

Solution 1

Is it a Win32 application ? I suppose you are not using the MFC since you are decelopping with Code::Blocks ?

No, its not the Visual C++

Yeah but you can write a Win32 application with Code:Blocks. So, is it a win32 app or a console app ?

A console app

Solution 2

Simple pseudo-code:

MoveTo(hDC,x,y);
while (graph points)
  {
    LineTo(hDC,x,y);
  }

Only if it is a Win32 application. We still don't know which kind of app he is developping.
