Hi,
I need some advice here. Till now, I have done c and fortran progamming (no gui development). Now, I want to develop a medium size application (to keep track of personal finances..) on gnome. I read tutorials on glade/gtk and I think I can start with that. One thing that is stopping me is the lack of any graph/chart widget or library. I do want to put charts in there and would like to know what options do I have.
I found a library called matplotlib (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) which looks very promising, but I have to use pyGtk for this. I do not mind using pyGtk (although I have to learn python) but I am not sure if python is good for developing such an application which deals with lots of data (multiple accounts and hundreds of transactions etc etc). What do you suggest??
Thanks,
Ravi.
