It's difficult to understand your needs.  Is your data laid out in a grid?  Can you have multiple objects with the same positions?

Depending on what you're trying to do, it might make sense to render them using OpenGL.

Hello all,

 

I need to build something that shows the interaction of about 100,000 objects.  The objects need to display by position and color.  I have x,y positions and colors programmed.  What is the best way to display these items?

 

I saw some of the simulation programs, and that looks like that may be what I need.  If you have some tips for hooking the simulations up to my objects please let me know.

 

I tried just turning on and off single pixels but the result was too small.  I could do some math and turn on more then one pixel to make the display larger but I thought I’d ask if anyone had some ideas for a better way to do this.

 

Thanks,
