Interactive wireframe plotting?

HI Grant,

Before I start hacking on gnuplot-py to add a significant new
feature, are there other plotting libraries that I should
consider?

You could try with matplotlib, although I am not sure what is the
status of the 3D surfaces and 3D plots. There is also the DISLIN
library, but I have never used it myself. If even matplotlib is not
able to handle your requirements, I don't know any other alternative
except hacking gnuplot or switching to VTK.

As an absolutely unrelated subject, I saw you have played quite a bit
with MAPI and Outlook... do you know if there is a way to parse the
Outlook *Express* inbox folder and communicate with it (retrieving an
email, for example)? Sorry for the horribly OT question :smiley:

Hi Belinda,

The following code:
       DiceImage = wx.Image('Picture1.jpg', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY, index-1)
       sb1 = wx.StaticBitmap(self,-1,wx.BitmapFromImage(DiceImage), pos =
(20,20))

Uhm, is there a particular reason why you are not using wx.Bitmap()
directly? I.e.:

DiceImage = wx.Bitmap('Picture1.jpg', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_JPEG)
sb1 = wx.StaticBitmap(self,-1, DiceImage, pos =(20,20))

This code should work as it is, you shouldn't need a Show().

How do I find the available methods for wx.Image objects?

You can look on the web:

http://wxpython.wxcommunity.com/docs/api/

Or use the wxWidgets help that comes bundled with wxPython.
