The dataGraph application is a generic graphing application that can extract fields from files with some separator, or on Linux systems, read data from a pipe.

This is pre-alpha release code. It's mostly a test harness for the graphing library that is still in development. It's released with the hopes that it will prove useful, and to provide me with a few more testers and ideas on what should be included.

This code is in active development, which gives you a decent chance of seeing a bug fixed or a feature added. Contact clif@noucorp.com for bug reports and comments.
