Plotting apps for ios

I have seen some plotting apps for ios, such as Graph It and Quick Graph. I am wondering what libraries they are using for creating plots and how to integrate those libraries into ios apps. Thanks a lot and happy new year.

I don't know the answer for those specific apps, but I can think of some things for you to look at. One is gnuplot--the trouble here might be getting it into suitable form to use as a library rather than using it as a command-line tool, since AFAIK there is no NSTask or fork()-ing under iOS. Another would be to embed PERL; the only real hard part of plotting is evaluating the expression to be plotted, which is trivial in something like PERL. And of course there are other libraries dedicated to expression evaluation which may be more suitable, depending on exactly what you want to plot.
