Munro of Lawrence -Livermore National Laboratory. It features support for three common -graphics output devices: X-Windows, (Color) PostScript, and ANSI/ISO -Standard Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM). The library is small -(written directly to Xlib), portable, efficient, and full-featured. It -produces x-vs-y plots with good tick marks and tick labels, -2-D quadrilateral mesh plots with contours, vector fields, or pseudocolor -maps on such meshes, and a selection of 3-D plots. - -The Python Gist module utilizes the ``Numerical'' package due to -J. Hugunin and others. It is therefore fast and able to handle large -datasets. The Gist module includes an X-windows event dispatcher which -can be dynamically added to the Python interpreter. This makes fast -mouse-controlled zoom, pan, and other graphic operations available to -the researcher while maintaining the usual Python command-line interface. |
