For such things, I like R (from http://www.r-project.org), for which also exist a few Python interfaces (I use http://rpy.sourceforge.net). For communication between Python and R, Python Numeric facilities are usable, yet not required. Moreover, with 3D-accelerated cards or simulations thereof, OpenGL tools (see http://rgl.neoscientists.org) allow you to interactively wander into your plot, somehow. The combination is worth. What may appear as a drawback is the need to become acquainted with R, the system and the language. But if you happen to do scientific works, this really is a worth investment. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
