I have an extensive programming background, and I am now trading stocks online. I need to do some special things with candlestick charting which require custom coding. One of the things I need to do is apply candlesticks to other things besides stock prices, like indicators and oscillators. But as far as I know, there is no software package out there which plots candlesticks using anything but price data.
Mostly what I need is a starting point, like an example of source code which plots graphs, hopefully candlestick charts, on a simple XY graph.
Any suggestions about what language to use, resources for and examples of working source code, or any other guidance you feel is appropriate will be appreciated. Thank you.

jaime_olivares, thanks for your reply. I appreciate your suggestion on using C# instead of C or C++.
However, I am having installation issues on C#. I have submitted a separate question to resolve that issue:

Take a look at that question and see if you can help me out. Thanks.

jaime_olivares, thanks for your suggestion. I have been looking at C# since you made that suggestion. I have had quite a few installation issues, but what you said makes a lot of sense. Aand there are plenty of people out on the Internet who agree with you. So I'll take your suggestion on faith, until I can get the IDE up and running with the ZedGraph libraries.
Thanks again. Take care.

here is a complete library in C#, a good language selection IMHO.

C/C++ will cause you lots of pain.
