This is perfectly feasible, technically speaking. I'm just not sure what it would<br>
buy practically speaking. I kind of like the way x's and o's look. Maybe it<br>
would be faster for scatter plots with huge amounts of points, though. I don't know.<br>

</div>I really want saving to work, but I have no idea what I'm doing Win32 API-wise.<br>
I'd say lack of saving support is by far the biggest outstanding issue with<br>
DFLPlot. I'd appreciate any help in this regard.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Halas, not from me: I'm at the same stage than you. At max, I'd know how to draw a graph on an empty bitmap, as long as it can be done by lighting individual pixels. And then saving it to disk. But putting text in it (with D or any other language) is beyond my ken.<br>
<br>I used this technics for a ray-tracer in D and for drawing L-systems, to learn D :-)<br>In fact, the only way I found to save the raytracer images to disk was to manage them as a an array of ubyte[3] and writing this to disk as a 24-but RGB .bmp file.<br>
<br>I'll let Win32 wizards answer...<br><br>Philippe<br><br>
