Are there any charting or graphing modules for python that can write
PNG, JPEG, or GIF graphics? I have found a couple of nice looking
packages that can make beautiful postscript, PDF, or SVGs (PyChart and
ReportLab) but they can't make PNGs, GIFs, or JPEGs. (On my Solaris
machine with Python 2.2 they don't.) Or are there any simple UNIX
filters to convert SVG, PDF, or ps files to PNG?

ReportLab certainly makes png/gif/jpeg, but only if you build the
_renderPM extension and also PIL. I know that's possible with solaris 8
as I have done it myself, but haven't done much with later versions.
There's also a requirement to get appropriate T1 font files.

The 'convert' utility from ImageMagick (google for it) is very good at
converting PDF or PS to PNG. It uses ghostscript to do the actual
conversion; it's just very good at choosing the right options to pass
to ghostscript.
convert -geometry 800x600 -density 200 foo.ps foo.png
Will convert a postscript to a png, keeping the aspect ratio correct
but making it fit inside an 800 by 600 pixel area. The -density
argument tells it the dpi to use when rendering the image. Higher
values are slower but give better results.

Hi, I've installed php4.0.4 on a linux machine running apache 1.3.19 but the

actual code - not the output eg. <? echo "This isn't working" ?>
These line have been added to my httpd.conf file:

Would anyone care to recommend a good graphing package (commercial or
otherwise)? I've looked at some of the PEAR Image packages - The only
graphing package is still alpha quality. One particularly interesting
feature would be to display data as in a 'strip chart' recorder, i.e., the
graph scrolls across the web page.
Any suggestions/pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have looked through the previous suggestions on graphing modules and
have been able to find some good suggestions. However I was wondering
about something more specific. I am going to write a program that
tracks stock prices and other financial related charts, so I need to
use the classic stock chart. From the ones I've seen, the graphing
modules deal mostly with scientific plotting and do not have the
"high/low" type charts.

Hi,
I've just released a full-featured online graphing calculator at
http://www.e-tutor.com/et2/graphing/
It requires no downloads or plugins - just JavaScript. You can track
points on the curve, graph multiple functions, and more. A lot of this
functionality is implemented in JavaScript. I'm very interested in
hearing people's feature requests.

GraphEasyRect was previously available as an applet. Now we have
converted it to a desktop standalone application that runs on

This tool allows graphing functions in cartesian plane, points of
discontinuity having limits are encircled on graph line. You may view
and copy the values of the function between a range of x values

I'm looking for a tool which will take a dataset of tuples indicating
the year of birth and death of a person:
(1872, 1950, "Sri Aurobindo")
(1821, 1910, "Mary Baker Eddy")
(1831, 1891, "HP. Blavatksy")
And graph them out, in bars, annotating them with the person's name.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
