Hi everybody,I am trying to develop a financial software to do various analysis on stocks and build a library of fundamental analysis, indicator tools, and the like. I have difficulty finding source code for a good charting, plotting tools that I can use under a visual c++ windows development. Does anyone know where I can get free source code to enable me do this. Specificall, I am looking for source code that helps plot prices, various mouse selectable moving averages, drawing trend lines, and select different time scales (such as a choice for daily, monthly, etc.). Would be very happy to share what I have and what I get from the community. Many of the existing packages on stock charting are too canned and inflexible for what I want to do. If you can help directing me to a link, or if you have such source, would you please help. Thanks a bunch. --MYH

Serendipity,Do you need help with the algorithms needed to pre-process your data - or with a particular charting control ?What charting tool/control are looking to use ?

Hi, Thank you for your enquiry " Do you need help with the algorithms needed to pre-process your data - or with a particular charting control ? What charting tool/control are looking to use ?"my weakest area is in finding a particular charting control source code that I can add to my application similar to what produces the one on www.amibroker.com. I am very able to write the algorithms needed to pre-process my data. It is linking my data to be displayed and to selectability on the screen of various segments of the chart for zooming, etc. Cheers.--MYH

Serendipity,I think you'll find that most packages are too canned and inflexible, in that the package authors have a particular idea of how to present data in a given chart type and their idea may not correspond with yours. By definition, packages are lowest common denominator affairs, so I don't think you'll find exactly what you want.On the other hand if you can get close to what you want and have access to the graphics primitives you may be able to close enough.- Lou
