Graphs, bar charts, etc

Hello all,

I have some data in a postgresql table which I view through a web
interface (the web interface is written in python -- using mod_python
under apache 2.2). Now I would like to represent this data as graphs,
bar charts, etc.

I know about matplotlib, and it seemed like exactly what I was
looking for. I tried importing it in my script, but it gave me some
error about a home directory not being writable. I'm not sure I like the
idea of it require to be able to write somewhere. Am I using it wrong?

Is there something else I can use which can produce graphs easily?

Kind regards,

I've used PyChart:

in my Blood Pressure Monitor application:

I found PyChart to be very easy to use and to function as advertised.

We've had good success with matplotlib.

Hi!

Matplotlib saves some stuff into a configuration dir. Take a look at
the __init__.py file in site-packages/matplotlib (or where your
installation lives). There are several environment variabels checked
where a .matplotlib folder will be created. Try unsetting HOME, than
probably TMP will be used and this should be writable in any case. I
don't know whether the creation of the configuration folder can be
turned off.

Hope that helps! Bernhard

You might want to look at RPy (http://rpy.sourceforge.net), an
interface to R (statistical programming environment).

Hi, Does anyone know how to export charts/graphs from EXCEl into Powerpoint-Microsoft Charts though VBA code. I would like to import the underlying data with the chart as well.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

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,...
