Displaying graphs from within a C# .NET console app? [duplicate]

Question

Methods of popping up a simple X-Y graph from within a C# .NET console app?

p.s. I don't mind using a 3rd party plugin (such as like IronPython or Matlab) to take advantage of 3rd party graphing libraries.

You mean like ASCII-art? Or you would like this console application to open another window which would represent the canvas on which the graph would be drawn? — Darin Dimitrov

Inside the console or do you want to start a Windows application? Using the console won't really give a satisfying result ( IMHO ) as the "resolution" will be terrible ... — Sascha

well guys, in MS-DOS we used to play games so there must be a way to draw lines, circles and shapes, not only ASCII charts... :) — Davide Piras

@Davide Piras - you really want to draw into VGA memory, perhaps even via a BIOS call ? ;-) — Yahia

Use the following method to start a console app with a windows form and then display/hide the form as necessary. Use the form to display the graph bitmap.
