Hello
I'm interested in running gnuplot on a handheld(probably not a very expensive one and probably linux-based) but haven't found too much of info about it. I guess it would look like sort of graphing calculator(which I really don't want to buy, and I like gnuplot much more than that)...Did anybody ever try to do anything similar?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hmm... as far as I'm aware, "not expensive" and "Linux-based" unfortunately still contradict each other, probably because these still sell as novelties.
OTOH, as long as there's a compiler on/for that handheld, and the Linux it runs encloses X11, I don't see any particular reason why gnuplot shouldn't be able to run on it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well, X is exactly the problem here - so I guess I should ask it like this: Does gnuplot support any other X-like outputs(well...thinking about an example...maybe Qt, picoGUI? or are those "compatible enough" with X?)?
Oh, and btw, does gnuplot support other things like linux framebuffer, sdl, ggi? I know about svgalib but that's only x86...

Thanks for the answer.

Qt runs on top of X, so it's not an alternative at all, AFAIK.
gnuplot does support GGI --- at least, the development version does.
I meant qt/embedded, actually...
