Newbie to python.
What you are really asking for is what GUI library you should use;
every one allows you to draw freely. What do you need to do besides
drawing sine waves? You should look at your full range of options;
http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming is a good starting point.
The "easiest" way to draw might be with those toolkits that offer
primarily a canvas to draw on rather than composable widgets. For
example, Pyglet (
http://pyglet.org/) offers OpenGL contexts with
sensible defaults and unobtrusive automation:
from pyglet import *
from pyglet.gl import *
import math
win = window.Window(width=700, height=700, caption="sine wave demo",
resizable=True)
frequency,phase,amplitude=0.1,0.0,0.9
@win.event
def on_draw():
half_height=win.height*0.5
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
glColor3f(0.9, 1.0, 0.8)
glBegin(GL_LINE_STRIP)
for x in xrange(0,win.width):
y=half_height*(1.0+amplitude*math.sin(x*frequency+ phase))
glVertex2f(x,y)
glEnd()
app.run()
