Plotting parametric functions in Haskell
Hello, I think it would be interesting to plot and visualize parametric (and other kind of functions) using the haskell language to define them [functions]. Does anyone know about some software or API that does just that? I started writing a plotter to do that using hopengl. But my computer graphics skills are rather bad and I couldn't produce anything really useful. []'s Rafael
I did that once a long time ago using GTK2HS; but I don't have that code anymore I think, it was a quick hack anyway. Doing a search for plot on Hackage revealed http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gnuplot Maybe that helps.

I probably should have mentioned that I really want to plot a 3D function. I've seen those packages before, but I didn't even tried them out. Chart seems to be only for 2D stuff and the reason why I was looking for haskell solutions is because I don't really like gnuplot for 3D plotting. Maybe I'm the one who doesn't get gnuplot's interface, but I find it awful to navigate through a 3D graph using gnuplot. Thanks for the answer, though.

Do you mean something like the gnuplot wrapper? http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gnuplot
