For those of you who have been wondering about what Apple’s mystery WWDC Science Coding Project will be, I am now able to spill the beans. I’m sure some have already connected the dots, but for those who haven’t figured it out yet, Apple’s WWDC code-a-thon is centered around the new open source Core Plot framework.

The Core Plot project began back in January after a post I made here on MacResearch as a ‘call to arms’ to build a decent open source plotting alternative for Apple systems. There are some options already available, such as SM2DGraphView and my own Narrative framework, but these are getting long in the tooth and are reasonably basic. There is also the very capable DataGraph framework, which is a commercial offering, but one drawback of all of these solutions is that they were developed before the iPhone, and do not support what has become a very important platform for developers.
