Stef, What a coincidence. I was considering using Labview for the application and on balance decided to press forward with a WxPython approach instead. It is refreshing to find someone else who is also aware of Labview. I would be very interested to see how your proof of concept turns out.
In the meantime, I tried to find OGLlike on the net but to no avail. Can you forward me a link so that I can look it over?

A number of people is working behind the scene to create such an environment. There's Vision, beautiful but ... There's Elefant, beautiful but ... And I'm also working on something similar: i.e. testing if "Numpy + wxPython >= MatLab + LabView" I'm using wxPython and OGLlike (was special made for graphical editing like LabView), hope to have a proof of concept by the end of the week. cheers, Stef _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mithis.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas No virus found in this incoming message.
