Is this possible with IDL and/or PV-WAVE ?
type: item
description: Hello. I have no experience with either IDL or PV-WAVE but my company is considering to use one of those products as graphical component of an application that we are going to build. Maybe someone can answer the following simple questions, so that we don't spend a lot of time at eveluating these products and finally find out it was not a good choise. My questions are: is it possible with either of both products to - use the graphical routines from within a C program (I mean, is there some kind of library that you can link to your program ?) - have time-riented data monitoring ? Basically, what we need is to display continuously incomming technical data in a 2d-plot form, where the x-axis is the time. It is desired that the display is smoothly updated (scrolled) when data comes in and possibly that one can scroll back to see old data. - Another question is: how easy is it to learn programming those products ? Well, thank you very much in advance for your help. Would you please reply directly to me at: cvzwynsv@estec.esa.nl C. van Zwynsvoorde. DATA.36
