Hello, To start, this is not another how do I get matplotlib to work in Django thread. This is how do I get matplotlib to work better with django. Before I go on, let me outline what I'm doing.
I'm currently working on a scientific data manager/viewer which uses matplotlib as the primary graphing workhorse. My intention is to be able to easily handle all sorts of crazy scientific plots (Smith Charts, Polar Plots with negative values, and other crazy mappings). In the past, matplotlib has been able to easily and elegantly handle these charts, so I'm sticking with it for now. I also want to be able to take these generated plots and quickly dump them into documents or reports so a save functionality (or drag and drop via the browser) is key. Currently, my application is based off the standard matplotlib example. I have a webpage that contains a static graph.png image and I point that url to another view that renders my matplotlib png and returns it. url(r'^graph_example/(?P<id>\d+)/$') url(r'^graph_example/(?P<id>\d+)/graph.png') How should I implement editable scales, titles, and labels? For instance, the graph comes up but I want a different scaling for a report. I could add all this information as url variables to the view, but that would be extremely ugly. Is the simple solution a query string? However, this also yields very ugly URLs. Instead of just returning an image in the HttpResposne as the django/ matplotlib example shows, is there a way to return the image with the rest of the base page's response? Removing the need for hard coding a "graph.png" url into my template. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
