Gnuplot.py is a Python package that interfaces to gnuplot, the popular plotting
|
|
program. It allows you to use gnuplot from within Python to plot arrays of data
|
|
from memory, data files, or mathematical functions. If you use Python to
|
|
perform computations or as `glue' for numerical programs, you can use this
|
|
package to plot data on the fly as they are computed. And the combination with
|
|
Python makes it is easy to automate things, including to create crude
|
|
`animations' by plotting different datasets one after another.
|
|
|
|
Commands are communicated to gnuplot through a pipe and data either through
|
|
the same pipe (as "inline" data) or through temporary files. It has been
|
|
written and tested on a unix computer.
|
|
|
|
This package has an object-oriented design that allows the user flexibility to
|
|
set plot options and to run multiple gnuplot sessions simultaneously. If you
|
|
are more ambitious, it is not difficult to add entirely new types of plottable
|
|
items by deriving from the `PlotItem' class.
|
|
|
|
For a demonstration, run the python file by typing `python demo.py'.
