Grafly is gone - Other math package? CAS Plot?

You probably know, but Grafly http://grafly.com/ is gone. I found EM Software and write them, they responded confirming that it's gone.
AL Software, makers of the i41CX calculator, has a package called iCAS http://alsoftiphone.com/iCAS/ that has 2D & 3D plotting. I have a feeling that the CAS package has an API as they use it from the i41CX+ (deluxe version).
Just a thought.
PS: Your UI is about the most visually pleasing I've ever seen. I love the color and the crispness, as well as the clean interaction. Rose-Hulman is a great school. Maybe you know Richard Ditteon? He is an astronomy software customer. I've been to RHIT for a workshop and really fell in love with Terre Haute. Lucky you.
Glad you like the application.
I worked with the developers of Grafly because they were the only ones I knew who provided a custom URL scheme for passing equations in to be plotted. I'll check and see of the iCAS folks have something similar, in which case I'd gladly add support for it. Unfortunately, no one else that I've contacted has thought to provide any integration with external applications.
I may actually integrate my own plotting implementation at some point, if I can't find a good solution elsewhere. I am a contributor to an open source plotting framework, so it might be time for me to use some of that in my own application.
