Graph rendering using 3D acceleration

Question

We generate graphs for huge datasets. We are talking 4096 samples per second, and 10 minutes per graph. A simple calculation makes for 4096 * 60 * 10 = 2457600 samples per lineg

Answer 1

If your code gets unreadable because you're dealing with the 3D stuff directly, you need to write a thin adaptor layer that encapsulates all the 3D OpenGL stuff, and takes 2D data in a form convenient to your application.

Forgive me if I've missed something, and am preaching basic object oriented design to the choir. Just sayin'...
