Does anyone know if it is possible to use g++ and Qt on an iyonix to draw graphs? I am thinking of buying a book on Qt and C++ to see if I can draw various graphs of say an n-body problem, but I am wondering if the RISC OS platform is capable of using C++ and Qt to draw or will I have to use BASIC for such programs that require drawing and not get the book on Qt. Thanks for the advice. |

You can have G++, it's part of GCCSDK. Compilation performance on an RISC OS box will be disappointing.
As for Qt, I doubt anybody has ported it. Probably for a combination of reasons: nobody's bothered yet, and it's a bucket of hateful bile  |

Presumably you have considered and ruled-out GraphDraw http://www.chris-johnson.org/software/ which does indeed work on the Iyonix? |

Thanks for replying, I only heard of Qt reasonly on another forum and so I don't know much about it, but I thought that it might be a handy way of drawing with C++ on the RISC OS. If it is as complicated as you say, I will keep away from it, as it would only waste my time learning it.
G++, I have it, and all I'll say is that it is slow to compile programs. |

thanks for replying and the link; no I have not heard of GraphDraw. Would it be able to draw data compiled using G++ or is it a self-contained programming language. |

... GraphDraw. Would it be able to draw data compiled using G++ or is it a self-contained programming language. No, it's an app that allows the entry of X-axis and Y-axis numerical data and offers a choice of graphing methods to apply to the data (e.g. least squares fit, parabola, polynomial, cubic spline). The resulting graph can be saved as a Draw or Multiplot http://www.bulldog.u-net.com/software/multiplot.html file. Probably the only way to find out if these apps will do what you need is to download them... |

G++, I have it, and all I'll say is that it is slow to compile programs. I think you'll find that's your CPU and OS. G++ is not famed for being fast, but it's not slow, either. |

I'd also recommend checking out Joe Taylor's (I think) DrawBasic. Although I've not used it personally, it provides extensive drawfile handling extensions to BASIC, allowing you to plot your results directly to drawfiles, rather than being limited to screen plotting. If you're planning on generating report-quality diagrams at the end of the process, I suspect that would provide a major time saving.
DrawBasic may also be called DrawScript.
There also seems to be something called DrawGen by Jim Lesurf. Actually, it might well be more appropriate since it seems to have a C veneer.
OK, found some URLs...

Thanks very much for the two links. It looks like DrawGen is the type of application I was looking for. It seems alot easier than Qt, which may not even ported to the RISC OS. |
