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.
