DESCRIPTION: ----------- disipyl is an object-oriented wrapper around the DISLIN plotting library. DISLIN is a powerful and flexible multiplatform (Win32, Unix, Linux, etc.) library designed for displaying scientific data. DISLIN's author, Helmut Michels, has made available a DISLIN plotting extension for the Python programming language (see http://www.linmpi.mpg.de/dislin/ for more details). disipyl provides a set of classes which represent various aspects of DISLIN plots, as well as providing some easy to use classes for creating commonly used plot formats (e.g. scatter plots, histograms, 3-D surface plots). A major goal in designing the library was to facilitate interactive data exploration and plot creation. Documentation, a tutorial, and a demo program are included. The library has been tested on Win32, Linux, and FreeBSD, but I anticipate that it should work on any platform which can make use of Python, NumPy, and the DISLIN python extensions. Feedback, comments, and critique are gladly accepted (email: paul.magwene@yale.edu). VERSION: ------- This is release 0.6 of disipyl. CHANGES: ------- New in this release: * support for plot interaction (record plot coordinates via mouse clicks) * new mechanism for quering disipyl objects about the options they support * cleanup of data/option setting mechanisms for disiypl objects * Jython support (when DISLIN java library available - most but not all classes) * updated documentation and tutorial URL: ---- You can find disipyl at: http://pantheon.yale.edu/~pmm34/disipyl.html
