    Yeah, I saw it - not sufficient. I want anti-aliased lines without having to turn myself inside out (or having to require an external library like OpenGL).

    OpenGL is not a lib, so you don't have to install it. DirectX on the other hand...

      Wout, That's what I thought. I didn't have to do anything extra to get it to work. But I guess it depends on where you intend to deploy...

        Both require that the end-user have one or the other installed. Frequently being an end-user myself, I hate to be told I have to install this or that in order to use an app I just downloaded. Why doesn't the download include everything I need? Get my drift? I treat end-users like they're all just like me - lazy.

          Okay, I've given up trying to find a free one for un-managed code, so I started looking around for an inexpensive one, and found this: ChartDirector[^] It's only $99, and is directly supported in an un-managed coding environment (MFC and C++). The graphs on their demo pages look great, and it appears as if it does everything you'd want in a charting library, even including cross-platform compatibility. Has anyone heard of these guys or used their stuff before? (They also have .NET, PHP, ASP, PERL, Python, and JSP/Java versions.) I fired off an email asking some questions about their licensing, and I'll be happy to share their responses if anyone is interested.

          It is $99 for a developer license + $499 for a redist license. We are talking $598.

            The jury is still out on that. I think that's based on a web distribution, not on desktop apps. Like I said earlier, I sent emails, and I'm waiting on a response. The downside is that these people are in hong kong, and they're 13 hours BEHIND on time, so I won't have an answer until tomorrow.

              I like to think I understand (and when I don't try and work it out) the various time zones around. If I do understand it correctly, since your in Texas your on Central Time (GMT -6) though for the next couple of weeks it's Central Daylight Time (GMT -5). Hong Kong in (GMT +8), so they are in fact 13 hours ahead or 11 hours behind depending on your view point. Though either way the answer won't arrive until tommorow. Am I even close? Next unrelated wuestion is Mountain Time. Where the hell is that? If I'm not mistaken the following are correct though far from complete - Eastern Time (GMT -5) - Massachussets, New York and the rest of the East Coast. Central Time (GMT -6) - Texas, Illonois and other places. Mountain Time (GMT -7) - ??? Pacific Time (GMT -8) California and the rest of the West Coast. Arizona Time (GMT -?) Different cause they don't have Daylight Savings.

                  Mountain Time includes all of New Nexico, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, and parts of Idaho and Arizona (and I think parts of a few other states east of Montana).
