5,000 POINTS: teach me how to use "Plot Graphic Library" from codeproject
Hi, I need a thorough tutorial. I am more than willing to give you 5,000 points.
we can break each step into 500 pts mini-tutorial.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/pgllib.aspx
I am a newbie programmer. We have stopped at functions in class. We haven't done OOP.
Goal: I would like to draw a simple 2D chart.
Needs: 1.I don't know where to put the downloaded folder into my MS VS2008 folder.
2. I don't know what <headers> to include from the source code or where to find it.
3. I don't know what functions to use to plot a chart.
I hope I can find someone with the patience to teach me.
Thanks.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I would suggest the following we will divide the tutorial into small steps , total 10 steps.
You will post the new questions and direct me to them so that each next step will be answered in a different question. Of course if you feel at any step that you would like or feel ready to proceed alone you are free to do so.
We can start with this question as the first one in the tutorial and this will be "Initializing GDI++ in MFC/ATL application"
I would need a couple more details from you:
What sort of project are you building (MFC/ATL/WIN32 etc...)
What window are you running.
What Visual Studio are you using.
Sample data file (you can attach it to message)

I think it's a good idea.
What I would like to learn how to do, ideally, is display a chart with price on the y axis and time on the x axis.
and below it a histogram with volume. (stock market).
The data is on a text file.
do you think the GDI+ function can do that?
and visually, i would like it to look like the pic on this page:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/pgllib.aspx
and of course, that would be in a perfect world.
I still would be happy if I could plot 2D graphs regardless of the way they look.
how you would turn this project into smaller steps? and do you have any additional comments/ideas?
Thanks a lot for your reply :)
