geg, a GTK+ Equation Grapher
geg is a simple little program that will draw 2-dimensional mathematical functions within a nice user interface. eg. f(x) = 3 + sin(x/2) geg is an acronym for GTK+ Equation Grapher. I wrote the program for various reasons:
- I wanted to learn how to use GTK+. Previously I have always used Motif but when I saw The GIMP, I thought GTK+ looked pretty neat.
- I actually thought it might be a useful program :) At the time of authoring I was studying Communication Systems, in which I had to keep trying to visualise what all these FM and AM signals looked like...
- I had gotten so much out of Linux and the community that I really wanted to contribute something in return.
Geg stores its preferences in $(HOME)/.gegrc. It also parses the file $(HOME)/.gtkrc on startup with gtk_rc_parse() to get GTK+ settings, this can be completely ignored though.
Warnings may be given by geg if old configuration files are loaded. These warnings will go away as soon as a new configuration is saved, or the configuration file is deleted.
I welcome any feedback: comments, suggestions, bug reports, flames, etc.... If you want to see any particular new features implemented, please email me.
