Veusz is Copyright (C) 2003-2006 Jeremy Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Licenced under the GPL (version 2 or greater) Veusz is a scientific plotting package written in Python. It uses PyQt for display and user-interfaces, and numarray for handling the numeric data. Veusz is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript output. Veusz provides a GUI, command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. The plots are built using an object-based system to provide a consistent interface. Changes from 0.8: Please refer to ChangeLog for all the changes. Highlights include: * Contour support (thanks to the code of the matplotlib guys!) * Undo/redo * Rubber band axis zooming * More flexible data importing Features of package: * X-Y plots (with errorbars) * Contour plots * Images (with colour mappings) * Stepped plots (for histograms) * Line plots * Function plots * Fitting functions to data * Stacked plots and arrays of plots * Plot keys * Plot labels * LaTeX-like formatting for text * EPS output * Simple data importing * Scripting interface * Save/Load plots * Dataset manipulation * Embed Veusz within other programs To be done: * UI improvements * Import filters (for qdp and other plotting packages, fits, csv) Requirements: Python (probably 2.3 or greater required) http://www.python.org/ Qt (free edition) http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/ PyQt 3 (SIP is required to be installed first) http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/ http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/ numarray http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/numarray Microsoft Core Fonts (recommended) http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ PyFITS (optional) http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyfits For documentation on using Veusz, see the "Documents" directory.
