I guess I'll ask the rest of my python questions on PySIG. I have just been able to run the 3D examples on the SciPy site. I'm psyched. I need to generate high quality 3d plots from my blade server data. I was hacking about with vtk, but I have been having some problems getting all the tests to run. At least with mat3d.py I'll be able to generate a plot or two without having to master vtk. That looks like a really long term project. Some of the test images are unbelievable. -Bruce _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
