<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>We need to create a graph/plot for at least 2 functions in the wxgrass GUI—profile plotting and histogramming. I did the TclTk profile module with just standard graphic calls. However, wxPython has a very nice plot control:PyPlot. It has lots of nice options, including ways to save the plot easily. <BR>
<BR>
BUT, it requires numeric or numarray — which have been superceded by numpy or scipy. These are as available the main python package and provide a rich scientific computing library for Python and wxPython. It looks like these are available for all platforms either as binary or source files. However, it would be another dependency. <BR>
<BR>
So what do you think? Should I install numpy (or scipy) and try the PyPlot or just create these modules with simple graphics?<BR>
