Hi List,

I'm using PythonCard to craft a simple front-end to our lab setup that acquires sets of 1024 non-negative integers (values range from 0 through 2^24 - 1), each one representing the value of one channel from our 1024-channel device.

I have the control and acquisition GUI working (a snap with PythonCard), but am having trouble with presentation. I'd like to plot the set using a simple "value" vs "channel #" bar graph.

I selected the FloatCanvas implementation included with PythonCard since I'd like to have pan/zoom/scroll capability. (Ideally, I'd like to have zoom-to-drag-box-best-fit, with new axes drawn, but that can wait for the next iteration).

I've looked at the existing demos, and either I'm too much of a newbie to comprehend them, or they don't quite provide the template I need. Is there some demo code available to help me create this simple plot? (Minor rant: Detailed FloatCanvas docs could keep me off the list... Examples & demos tell me "what", but not "why".)

Or is FloatCanvas not the best tool for the job? (My backup plan is to use GnuPlot to generate an image then shove it into a canvas, but I'd lose interactivity.)


Thanks,

-BobC
