Dix, thanks so much for the tip - I had never heard of this package
before (the company appears to be located in Hong Kong. I just looked
at their web site, and it would appear they have a nice suite of
graphs.

What I glean from the web site is as follows:
- for MacOS X, they deliver a universal library and header files
- the library is C++ (I would imagine it would integrate into a cocoa
app fairly well)
- single user price is $99 (much more than the DataGraph library that is $29)
- redistribution license is $749. This is the only library I have
found that offers redistribution.)

All in all looks very promising.

David
