For the wx backend to matplotlib, wxmplot (http://github.com/newville/wxmplot, http://newville.github.com/wxmplot/) does provide some of the basic editing features for simple 2d line plots such as changing colour, style, markers, text labels and so on via a GUI form, much as you describe. For image displays, it allows changing the colour table, smoothing, and rotating and so on. It is definitely not as complete as all of matplotlib, and I'm sure it could be improved. Still, it can serve many simple plotting needs where one wants to give the end-user the ability to customize the plots, and wx/matplotlib developers needing might find it useful. --Matt Newville ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
