""" gracePlot.py -- A high-level Python interface to the Grace plotting package The intended purpose of gracePlot is to allow easy programmatic and interactive command line plotting with convenience functions for the most common commands. The Grace UI (or the grace_np module) can be used if more advanced functionality needs to be accessed. The data model in Grace, (mirrored in gracePlot) goes like this: Each grace session is like virtual sheet of paper called a Plot. Each Plot can have multiple Graphs, which are sets of axes (use gracePlot.multi() to get multiple axes in gracePlot). Each Graph has multiple data Sets. Data Sets are added to graphs with the plot and histoPlot functions in gracePlot. The main python functions are plot() and histoPlot(). See their docstrings for usage information. They can be called with any mix of Numeric arrays, lists, tuples, or other sequences. In general, data is considered to be stored in columns, so a matrix with three vectors x1, x2 and x3 would be: [ [ x1[0], x2[0], x3[0] ], [ x1[1], x2[1], x3[1] ], [ x1[2], x2[2], x3[2] ], [ x1[3], x2[3], x3[3] ] ] Here's a simple example of a gracePlot session: >>> import gracePlot >>> p = gracePlot.gracePlot() # A grace session begins >>> # Sequence arguments to plot() are X, Y, dy >>> p.plot( [1,2,3,4,5], [10, 4, 2, 4, 10], [0.1, 0.4, 0.2, 0.4, 0.1], ... symbols=1 ) # A plot with errorbars If you're doing a lot of histograms then you should get Konrad Hinsen's Scientific Python package: http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/scientific.html histoPlot() knows how to automatically plot Histogram instances from the Scientific.Statistics.Histogram module, so histogramming ends up being pretty simple: >>> from Scientific.Statistics.Histogram import Histogram >>> joe = Histogram( some_data, 40 ) # 40 = number of bins >>> p.histoPlot( joe ) # A histogram plot with correct axis limits An important thing to realize about gracePlot is that it only has a one-way communications channel with the Grace session. This means that if you make changes to your plot interactively (such as changing the number/layout of graphs) then gracePlot will have NO KNOWLEDGE of the changes. This should not often be an issue, since the only state that gracePlot saves is the number and layout of graphs, the number of Sets that each graph has, and the hold state for each graph.
