I'm happy to announce that Enthought is developing a platform independent plotting library for Python. The Chaco project, as it is named, is funded by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and licensed under a BSD style open source license. Chaco is designed for presentation quality scientific 2D graphics on a variety of output devices. The initial targets are wxPython, TkInter, Mac OS X, and PDF for hard copy output. It's design is extensible so that other backends, such as OpenGL, can be added. Currently, the low-level API for wxPython, Mac OS X, and PDF are operational. The high level graphics objects will be developed over the coming months. Chaco is hosted at the SciPy site. For more information visit: http://www.scipy.org/site_content/chaco People are invited to comment on and contribute to the project. Chaco's discussion list is: scipy-chaco@scipy.org To subscribe, go to the mailing list's info page: http://scipy.net/mailman/listinfo/scipy-chaco thanks, eric jones -- Eric Jones <eric at enthought.com> Enthought, Inc.
