About:
GtkDatabox is a GTK widget designed for the fast interactive display of large amounts of live data. It provides high-performance plotting capabilities, allowing developers to visualize real-time data streams efficiently. The library is useful for applications requiring dynamic data monitoring, such as scientific instrumentation or network traffic analysis.
Key Features:
  • High-performance rendering for large datasets
  • Interactive zooming and panning
  • Support for multiple plot types (points, lines, grids)
  • Easy integration with GTK+ applications
Use Cases:
  • Real-time scientific data visualization
  • Network traffic monitoring dashboards
  • Industrial process control interfaces
Alternatives:
  • gnuplot – gnuplot is a command-line plotting tool, whereas GtkDatabox provides an embeddable GUI widget.
  • plplot – plplot is a cross-platform plotting library, but GtkDatabox is specifically optimized for GTK+ integration.
