Graphing with Unity

hi all,

I know this isn’t specifically a UnityGUI question but I wasn’t sure where else to turn, since this isn’t a scripting or modeling question.

We are looking around (in vain so far) for any libraries or information that could help us throw graphs up in a GUI layer – you know, line, bar, etc. I know, really dry use of a killer game engine, but… well… umm…

Anyway, if nothing exists (which is my guess after a month of asking around and searching different fora) we’ll look at building one. Would be good to get a nice strong negative confirmation first!

Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge nobody has released such a library yet for the ingame gui, so should one exist, it was used and talked about only somewhere inhouse.

I guess the reason why none does exist is the complete lack of any possibility to create freeform objects on the gui layer at all, cause through meshes / GL (pro only) you can only create regular meshes independent of the gui

Should it be for editors, then such a thing exists (as you see in action in the curve editor for example)

Vectrosity is pretty good for line and bar graphs.

you and your unknown addons Eric :wink:
You should finally get some kept active thread on the showcase board for all that stuff in one place :smile:

that being said: already having it linked on your website would be a massive leap ahead … no idea how many more you have there due to the utilities page only showing the “old ones”

The Vectrosity topic has 100 posts and the last activity was a few days ago. :wink: (And yes, the website links need updating and have for a while now, but it’s the only one missing from the utilities page. Which I redesigned but haven’t quite finished due to other stuff.)

ShowCase is about the only board I basically ignore especially with thread names that don’t imply it being “not a game” (I check the board through new postings since last visit) and so have missed it cause I expected it to be a game in the style of the example tank game you have there. My error

looking forward to see the full list in the utilities listing :smile:

Wow, Vectrocity is exactly what we needed, and more. Thanks Eric! I really appreciate it.

But the topic is titled “Vectrosity - fast and easy line drawing”… ::sob:: :wink:

Cool, glad it’s something you’re looking for. :slight_smile:

I’ve had pretty good luck using google charts. I pass whatever variables I need to build the graphs to google charts, which constructs them in real-time and returns an image of the chart. Then I use this as a GUI texture.
