Do you know any programs in linux that are good for plotting data?
The one I currently use is labplot, but I don't really like some of its features. And if you're going to say gnuplot can you please direct me to some good tutorials on it.
And do you know any c compiler that is good and free for windows too?
Thanks.

Gnu is a bummer cause we have to do it in the shell. But I will have to learn it eventually so I might as well do it now. For windows what I use is labplot and that one is very good. And by the way: what is lotux?

She sais there are many people there who are far more advanced than she is and may be able to help you out. good luck!

i'm not familiar with any 'good' plotting tools for linux, not my line of business. but on the compiler side i can recommend you have a look at MinGW @ http://www.mingw.org ... very reasonable compiler with a decent ide to it as well. it runs through cygwin on windows (http://www.cygwin.com) and fairly easy to setup.
alternatively have a look here for a list of c\c++ compilers, may be you'll find something that you like -> http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cpp.shtml
