RE: Help on first program

I'm not at work right now so I can't look at my code to give you pointers
but I can give you an answer to #2:

gtk_plot_data_draw_points(dataset, 1);

If I recall correctly it draws the requested number of points. If you call
gtk_plot_data_draw_points(dataset, 5) it will attempt to draw 5 more points
from where it left off. This is useful when capturing data that might be
produced at a higher rate. For example I have a simulation that runs at 60
Hz and if I wanted to draw the data every iteration I would call
gtk_plot_data_draw_points(dataset, 1); but this can be a hog so instead I
call gtk_plot_data_draw_points() only every 5 iterations and invoke it as
gtk_plot_data_draw_points(dataset, 5);

BTW, in my code gtk_plot_data_draw_points runs in a separate thread than the
one producing the data.

I can't remember what the names of the functions are for adding the labels
to the axes, but if you open the header files (like gtkplot.h) you can see
the list of available functions in gtkplot.c and you might be able to find
it there. If not in that file try others.

Hope this helps.
