Vineet Sorry - I was not too clear on my question; I *am* currently able to use matplotlib - what I am not sure how to is to integrate it into a web framework. I have been looking at using Pylons - as that is WSGI compliant - but probably any one will do. I would like to be able to generate graphs "on the fly" from database data (and I assume your graphs are done a similar way), and so I was wondering what are the specifics of the approach you used for this - is it just a case of installing Python onto a server, plus the web framework code, and then importing the matplotlib code - if so, what command is used to "pull" the graph into the web page - the matplotlib "show" command? - or do you store the graph somewhere on a temporary basis and then delete again when done?? Thanks Derek
PS <1 sec to make a chart sounds quick - given that it takes much longer than 1 second to load the chart across the web into one's browser... >>> Vinj Vinj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2006/10/09 04:25 PM >>> > Any change you could share back with the community the approach > you followed - web framework used? integration strategy? deploy- > ment and setup issues? graph creation methodology? web framework used: cherrypy deploymnet os: ubuntu setup issues: none > I am looking to tackle a project with multi-chart reporting > component features and would really love to use Matplotlib > with it.... but am not quite sure where to start. matplotlib comes with a lot of examples and that's probably the best place to start. There is an example for how to save charts to a file (which is what I do) and another one for streaming the charts back to the user. The only issue I have faced is that matplotlib is slow for my chart types (takes about 0.8 seconds to do a chart). I'm hoping that future version of matplotlib will be faster. Guys at stockcharts.com generate charts in about 0.3 seconds. So matplotlib (for the charts I generate) is about 2.5 slower than what they use. For most people that might not be an issue, but since I pre-generate 100,000s of graphs daily it can cause a lot of pain. Vineet __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
