I'm about to try some Python programming for drawing simple geometric pictures (for math classes I teach) and was hoping to get some advice that will send me off in the best direction.

I want to write programs that can draw figures with commands akin to point(x,y) to draw a point at coordinates (x,y), or segment (x1,y1,x2, y2) to draw a segment between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

I'd appreciate recommendations as to the best facility or library to use to this end. I primarily use a Mac, but my students primarily use Windows.

I'd love to hear any and all pointers or comments. Thanks!


Hi Peter,
I'm just trying to do the same, draw points and lines without having to spend the next six months learning a GUI environment and then finding I've been learning the wrong one all this time. Then I stumbled on these pages at py4fun, it's a quick and dirty introduction to the basics of Tkinter, just a few commands and you're in business. Hope that is what you're looking for,
