Veusz 0.4 [first public release] --------- Velvet Ember Under Sky Zenith ----------------------------- http://home.gna.org/veusz/ Veusz is a scientific plotting package written in Python (currently 100% Python). It uses PyQt for display and user-interfaces, and numarray for handling the numeric data. Veusz is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript output. Veusz provides a GUI, command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. The plots are built using an object-based system to provide a consistent interface. Currently done: * X-Y plots (with errorbars) * Stepped plots (for histograms) * Line plots * Function plots * Stacked plots and arrays of plots * Plot keys * Plot labels * LaTeX-like formatting for text * EPS output * Simple data importing * Scripting interface * Save/Load plots * Some work on a manual and introduction To be done: * Contour plots * Images * Filled regions * UI improvements * Import filters (for qdp and other plotting packages, fits, csv) * Data manipulation * Python embedding interface (for embedding Veusz in other programs). [some of the external interface is complete] * Proper installation program Requirements: Python (probably 2.3 or greater required) http://www.python.org/ Qt (free edition) http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/ PyQt (SIP is required to be installed first) http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/ http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/ numarray http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/numarray Microsoft Core Fonts (recommended) http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ For documentation on using Veusz, see the "Documents" directory. The manual is in pdf, html and text format (generated from docbook). If you enjoy using Veusz, I would love to hear from you.
