[GRASS-dev] Re: numeric-numpy-scipy for graphs?

[Michael Barton]

Following up on this and the many other interesting posts to this thread...

I asked if anyone objected to having numpy or scipy (incluing numpy) as a
dependency for the new wxPython GUI. The response has been overwhelmingly in
favor, pointing out the many things possible with this kind of package.

I just want to use it to make nicer plotting easier (e.g., for profiling and
histogramming) in the GUI, but obviously it has other uses. And of course,
there are a number of other even more sophisticated plotting/graphing
packages that also run under wxPython and scipy.
