What software is good to write User Interface in linux???

[emailhameed]

Hello Friends,

I'm writing an application on linux (Ubuntu) using C and C++.

I'm not very good with the user interface (UI) part.

Project Behavior:
The UI will take inputs/ requests from end user and send it to my C/C++ application.
The C/C++ application will process the request and give back output, the output has to be plotted as graph.
The UI needs to have rich look.

My questions:
1) What is the best linux software to write UI?
a) Is Java suggestable???
b) Does linux QT help me in this regard???

2) What is the best linux software to plot graphs??

Regards,
Syed abdulHameed.

If your application is in C++, then it would make sense to use a portable GUI tool that is also written in C++, like Qt. Why create additional headaches by using one language for the computation and a different one for the GUI?

Gnuplot is good if you want a stand-alone program. If you want a Qt-based C++ library that you can use to embed graphs into your program, look at QCustomPlot, Qwt, or Qt's commercial QtCharts (http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/index.html) libraries.
