best plotting library for iOS sdk

Question

What is the best plotting library for the iPhone's iOS SDK? I tried out core plot but looks like it's still pretty unstable. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Not sure about the type of app you have but..

You can

A) Waste your time with Core Plot, which as mediocre as it is for a framework, is the best option for a native solution.

B) Use one of the 19 billion excellent Javascript and/or HTML 5 charting frameworks out there and import them with a web view, then go to dinner.

Frankly, I always go with B when possible.

Answer 2

I think your assessment of Core Plot was a bit premature. Well the API is "unstable" (there has not been a 1.0 release as of now, Sept. 2010), many applications (including my own) are using Core Plot in production on both iOS and OS X. I have not experienced any stability issues with Core Plot, nor have any of our crash reports from the field implicated Core Plot.

The Core Plot developers are very active on the Core Plot mailing list. If you've had specific issues, I would start there (or post targeted questions on Stack Overflow).
