GTK pylab console

Community matplotlib-users

Hi all,

I've developed a GTK/Python/Pylab console that is able to display
most matplotlib figures directly within the console and handle
matplotlib mouse events properly.

Screenshots and sources are available at:
http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/pylab.html

I've tested several examples from matplotlib examples and they
seem to be displayed properly. Any comments/requests are welcome.

Very nice. I like the idea of inline plots -- less of an interrupted flow.

Have you looked at the similar project "reinteract"? (www.reinteract.org) It's a little more aggressively different, for what it's worth. The author seems to have lost steam in the last few months, but it has some interesting ideas.

It would be neat to integrate ipython, rather than just the standard python shell, into your console to get autocompletion, fancier help etc. I think the combination could be great.

Thanks for sharing this, and keep us updated!

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks. I've stumbled across "reinteract" and found that the inline plot
has been done using the previous version of the pylab console
(Reinteract – Better interactive Python « fishsoup)

Concerning ipython, I've once designed the code to integrate it but
since then I got a bit lost with the future new version of ipython
(ipython1). I will try to look again.
