Hi.

I have really started to implement Oplot++ now, and I have looked at both KMatplot (QMatplot) and KNewPlot. 
My goal is to make Oplot++ use unix socket, instead of pipes which are used in KNewPlot. 

Later I will add tcp/ip connection between Oplot++ and Octave and so on. 

Qt is available for both Mac OS X and Windows, but yet there is lisence issues with Windows for Qt. 
But don't be afraid. There are Qt projects going on for Windows, which are released under GPL. 
Since Octave doesn't work without a Cygwin environment, Oplot++ have no problems yet. 
Problems like this will be handled. 

I would be happy if someone has a computer running Mac OS X, and want to test out Oplot++. 
This would be most helpful. 

There exists python bindings to Qt called PyQt, and there are also python bindings available to Coin3d (OpenInventor) using SoQt or SoXt. 
I believe this package is called Pivy. 
 
Thank you for being interested in my work. 

Cheers,

Ole J.
