Charter is an application that easily allows to add plotting functionality to every scripting and programming language with a UDP socket library.
The only thing you need is to send an UDP packet containing the data to be plotted, which has to be formatted following a custom yet simple protocol. One packet per point, multiple data series per packet: Charter automatically detects the series, sets up the charts, and shows you a nice scatter plot that can be updated in real time.
Charted can result handy whenever you have to chart some data from your code prototype, and you want to see the charts updated during your code execution, and not just at the end.
Possible intriguing applications are:
• realtime charting of web servers statistics
• convergence charts for numerical analysis, simulations, optimization softwares
• realtime charting of analog input signals from an Arduino or a similar prototyping platform
