Could you provide at least possibility for user-supplied gradient of objective function? This feature would provide possibility of using p.connectIterFcn('df') (as well as it is done for ALGENCAN and some other solvers) so openopt graphic output would be enabled. Regards, D. Rob Falck wrote:
outputfcn would allow for graphical progress of the optimizer, correct? I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be possible. I'll need to read up on properly incorporating it into scipy for svn (this is the first commit I've done for the project), I'll try to have it up in the next day or three. I think its speed can be increased substantially with the addition of a constrain normals argument, but I'll add it as is, with approximations for now.
