Subject: Advice on macruby and graphics

Hi there Everyone,

I've spent the last year or so away from ruby. That being said,  I
wouldn't say I was a ruby guru at the height of my knowledge anyway!

I'm interested in building a macruby desktop app for backtesting forex
data. There aren't any backtesting apps for OSX, and I hate having to
spend so much time in Win XP these days whilst I'm trading.  Basically
the screen is filled with graphical elements representing the movement
of currencies. This window can be dragged and manipulated with other
graphical elements being overlaid on the screen.

What would be the best library to use for the graphics with this in
mind?

I've had a look at hotCocoa::graphics which lets me interact with core
graphics and core image etc within Mac OSX. That looks like the best
option at the moment.

Any advise? Has anyone done anything like this before?

be kind :)
