thanks again for your help :-)

good; I'll download paraview & give a look to it...

I forgot to put in my required-feature for a plotter the ability to plot
2D but also 3D plots; I'll give another look around but the only open
source alternative seems to be gnuplot which I don't like very much...
since I require 3D plots, OpenGL is good for me ;-)

I'll make another deep research but I think that plotting with VTK will
be a good occasion to learn to use it... ;-)
