outputfcn would allow for graphical progress of the optimizer, correct?&nbsp; I don&#39;t see any reason why that wouldn&#39;t be possible.<br>I&#39;ll need to read up on properly incorporating it into scipy for svn (this is the first commit I&#39;ve done for the project), I&#39;ll try to have it up in the next day or three.&nbsp; 
<br>I think its speed can be increased substantially with the addition of a constrain normals argument, but I&#39;ll add it as is, with approximations for now.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 12, 2007 3:42 AM, dmitrey &lt;
