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:
