plotting to gif ?

What is a good library for plotting graphs to (compressed) gif / jpg
images?
Has anybody experience with this?

I want to put some simple 2D (and maybe 3D) graph data visualization on
a web server. Currently I test-output the data through Gnuplot.py &
Gnuplot.

I'm quite confused about
http://wiki.python.org/moin/NumericA...tific/Plotting which would
leave me trying out almost everything.

I'd need/like:

* simple usage (not requesting too many other frameworks/libs installed
extra)
* displaying many curves in parallel / 2 y-achses scaling independently.
* compressed gif's/png/jpg as the images are big but mostly white and going

Hello All, I am creating a visual programming environment for python (similar to Matlab's simulink, but for python). For several reasons I have decided not to go with OGL.

Hi, I have a dictionairy containing DateTime objects as keys and integers as values. What would be the easiest way to create a simple plot of these, with a number axis versus a time axis? What library is the most suitable for this? 'plot' on parnassus yields 18 hits, but since I have zero experience, I don't know where to start. What makes it difficult is that I have a time axis instead of a simple integer x-axis. Gnuplot doesn't seem...

I'm interesting in finding the ultimate cross-platform python plotting module. So far I've used scipy.gplt and biggles which both have disadvantages. There is no python 2.3 binary package for biggles in windows, and scipy.gplt doesn't seem to work with MacMillan's installer in Windows. I haven't tried py2exe yet. I need a plotting program this is: -Cross platform (linux and windows) and can build into binary form, or easy to install...

Can anyone recommend a fast cross-platform plotting package for 2-D plots? Our situation: We are driving an instrument that outputs data at 20Hz. Control is via an existing Tkinter application (which is being extended for this new instrument) that runs on unix, mac and windows. We wish to update 5-10 summary plots at approximately 2 Hz and will be offering controls to control the instrument and the plots, preferably (but not...

Hi, I have a Python console application that is intended to be used interactively and I have to add plotting capabilities (multiple XY plots and if possible 2D-surface plots). I'm loocking for a reasonably fast plotting library (not GPL'ed, needs not be for free) that can be used under Windows. An alternative would also be a standalone application that can be controlled via TCP/IP from my Python application. I tried matplotlib but this...

Hi, I am looking for a good plotting library. I intend to do 3D surface plots, 2D contour, 3D waterfall, etc. Right now I have access to National Instruments' Measurement Studio, and it's supposed to provide some plotting classes, but I've never used it. Does anyone have any experience with NI's Meas. Studio? Can someone suggest a good plotting library that I might want to use instead of Meas. Studio? Is there a community standard?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
