When a software exists which is the perhaps the most powerful plotting program *ever* written, choosing a gaming library for this demonstrates poor choice, unless there is a specific reason for that - like for example, if you are already familiar with Pygame or SDL. I am talking about "gnuplot" here. The commands are pretty intuitive. It gives you an interactive prompt, like python. For example, here is how to plot a curve for the function (3*x*x - 8*x) over x range of -50:50 and y-range of -10:100 gnuplot> plot [-30:30] [-10:500] (3*x*x - 8*x) You can also do 3-d plots. Here is the 3d plot of a complex function in 2d plane. gnuplot> splot [-30:30] [-10:500] (3*x*x - 8*x + y*y) Has any one in here implemented this sort of a program ?

Gnuplot is its own "programming language", but if you want a Python interface, try gnuplot.py. http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/ > > > -- shiv > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- --Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
