Google this: "drawing graphs with dot" dotguide.pdf Look at page ~40ff.
Perhaps a simple script to generate graphviz input. Then let those excellent tools do the heavy lifting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of E. J. Gold is the Hi-Tech Shaman Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 14:57 To: python-list@python.org Subject: graphing lifelines (crossposted to sci.math) I'm looking for a tool which will take a dataset of tuples indicating the year of birth and death of a person: (1872, 1950, "Sri Aurobindo") (1821, 1910, "Mary Baker Eddy") (1831, 1891, "HP. Blavatksy") And graph them out, in bars, annotating them with the person's name. A simple spreadsheet would've worked, but they seem to start from zero. Thus, I would only be able to indicate the span of life (by subtracting death year from birth year). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
