short programmer consulting job - graphing

Feb 12, 2009 15:13

My brother's company wants a small programming task accomplished, and I'm wondering if any of you would be interested and able to do it quickly. The general idea is to make some kind of script/program that can take as input a set of X,Y data, and output a series of jpgs/pictures. The series of pictures would all have the X,Y graph of the data set, plus each graph would have a single X point and Y point highlighted. The highlighting would be in the form of drawing a straight line to the X and Y axis from the data point of interest. It should be easy to change the input data set and generate a new series of pictures. Ideally, it should be possible for the user to also control things about the graph, like the font of the axis label, the color of the lines, whether they are dotted or solid lines).

Also, even if you are not interested in doing this task, if you have suggestions for how someone should do this kind of thing, please let me know. Thanks.
