imagej is an image processing (not construction) software it seems.

[Albretch Mueller]

 imagej is an image processing (not construction) software it seems.

 I need a (preferably) java-based piece of software that would allow
for the construction of (relatively simple) images defined through xml
specifications. Say, you define a 2D or 3D function (such as a
quadratic one) all you would need to specify is then the function's
algebraic expression in an encoded form, say, 4 values: (2,a,b,c) for
a quadratic function or  (1,m,b) for a lineal one.

 I am looking for such a piece of software because I teach (and write
about) Math and I don't want to spend time drawing images when you can
create them using software ...

 Can you do that with imagej? Any examples you could point me to?

 Is there such a thing?

How about Matlab, Mathematica, and such?

Hi Albrecht,

Using any of the available scripting languages[1] or Java API[2] you can
programmatically generate images.

For example, for each function type you could define a method that accepts
the appropriate parameters and generates an image. Then an XML parser[3]
could be used to read the parameters.

The spirals[4] macro is an example that ships with Fiji which generates an
image:

Best,
Mark

May I suggest you look at Octave, which is a free software, similar to
Matlab. It has many similar capabilities, has excellent quality and you
can audit the source, modify it, and redistribute it.

Best wishes,

Gerold

 I don't seem to have found what I need after searching for it.

 could you be a bit more specific about "such"?

 Ideally I would like to plug that functionality into OpenOffice (it
uses open document formats) in a contextually sensitive way. If
someone, say, increases the font, the coordinate system and the
function should increase proportionally.

 Any such thing?

 Using a scripting language to then use java?

GNU Octave

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Octave

http://octplot.sourceforge.net/

looks like a much better alternative. If they had only a java port! ;-)

There is a key feature that I need which is a listener interface tied
to OO so that interaction is seamless. Having to call external
libraries may complicate things
