Should our graphing library figure out what the ranges are and set its own scaling? Should it require that we tell it up front what the X and Y scales are? Maybe it can even be designed to allow for changing the scale on the fly?
It would be great if our data plotting graphics library could handle plotting to screen, saving that to a file as a bitmap, and also plotting to a printer.

How about data sources and formats? Should we design it to accept one or more strings of delimited values? In the graphing example at runbasic.com it allows you to upload a CSV file with data to plot. Maybe as an interesting example I should find a downloadable file from a scientific website and the project should be to plot a graph from that?

It's great to see you blogging and commenting regularly, Carl.
You already know what fun I've had over the years with LB.
Just a comment that I have some relevant visual presentation stuff on my DigaMe site eg http://diga.me.uk/indexDemo.html
http://www.diga.me.uk/elevation.html
http://www.diga.me.uk/terrain.html

Also we had a thread on analysing data from exploratory geological drill core data- a case where no analysis would be easily done in say Excel.
Another forum thread and I raised how easily LB can call & use GnuPlot http://libertybasic.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=LB3&action=display&num=1315313395
