GtkDatabox is a widget for the Gtk+-library designed to display large amounts of numerical data fast and easy. GtkDatabox allows for one or more data sets of thousands of data points (X and Y coordinate) to be displayed and updated in split seconds. The widget is therefore used in many scientific and private projects that need to show quickly changing data "live".

GtkDatabox offers the ability to zoom into and out of the data and to navigate through your data by scrolling.

In addition to rulers and a simple coordinate cross, GtkDatabox now also allows you to add one (or even more) configurable grids like on an oscilloscope.

Data may be presented as dots, lines connecting the data, or vertical bars. The widget allows you to easily transform pixel coordinates into data coordinates, thus allowing you to easily create powerful applications for data analysis.
