Seeking professional advise...
-
OK, I will open myself for ridicule... I WIIL (eventually) display real calculated data on Smith chart. Smith chart - Wikipedia[^] I can handle the math, what I see as a small issue is the actual GUI implementation. I have few MAJOR choices - OpenGL, GTK and Cairo. I found very promising code written for GTK and apparently using Cairo too. (Cairo being 2D graph tool is my initial take on it). I am not so sure about basic "window / form /view " - I see OpenGL as the simplest. ( I wish the "industry" woudl come up with uniform desorption / definition of the thing which was called when I started "coding" "window" - no capital W ! The advise I am seeking is Are there other , simple, 2D graphic tools ? I do not need spinning cube , shading, license plate recognition etc, Cheers

Google might be your friend here. A quick google for "linux smith chart" pulled up this: [Ubuntu Manpage: gsmc - A GTK Smith Chart Calculator for RF impedance matching](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/gsmc.1.html) Even if
gsmcisn't what you're looking for, looking at the source could help you on your way. -

Thanks, nice reference. I have already found another GTK application, so the "math" is covered. PS Me asking Mrs Google "linux smith chart" returned no useful info! Must be my accent.
