Hi all, I'm new to the list, so this is my first question. I hope it's not been extensively covered already; I couldn't find anything while browsing through the archives. Anyway, I'm developing a Cocoa application for plotting relatively large data sets (10000-100 000 points) containing waveforms recorded from electrophysiological experiments. The program allows for efficient panning through the data, zooming, as well as other features. Since I am doing most of my analysis in python, the idea occurred to me to try creating an interface of sort to my Cocoa application using python. Let me just say first that I'm using matplotlib for plotting smaller subsets of the data set, which works just fine, but I find it doesn't quite measure up to the task of efficiently viewing the entire data set. So, my question is if the list as any good advice as to how to unite these two tools? My idea for an approach so far is to somehow build the cocoa application into a bundle, and then load this from a python C-extension module, but I have not been able to find enough documentation on how to do this to get me started. I apologise if this has already been covered, or if there is some obvious source of information that I've overlooked, but I was hoping to find documenation/examples on how my approach could be implemented. Failing that, any other good approach will do. The functionality I'm looking for is basically being able to send data in the form of numpy arrays from a running python session to my application, which accepts input in the form of NSData. In my application, there is a function that basically takes an NSData object and converts into points that are then plotted by CoreGraphics drawing routines. I think there should be a way for me to gain access to this function in python, so that I can call it on my data, of course with some intermediary data conversion. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
