libraries for plotting

[Ken Seehof]

Take a look at gdchart.  There are a few missing features and some
minor cosmetic issues such as strange tick logic, but it does the job
and I haven't found anything better for what it does.

You should probably be more specific about what you are using it
for since "plotting" is a very wide scope.  Gdchart does bar charts,
pie charts, high-low-close, and that kind of stuff.

BTW, what I'm looking for now is a 2D vector oriented drawing
library the has anti-aliasing.  For example, it should use floating point
endpoints, floating point thickness, and draw lines, splines, bitmaps
with alpha channel (naturally with floating point position and stretch).
