I am part of a team trying to create interactive GUI scientific visualisations and would like some advice regarding the best way to proceed.
We are trying to output mathematical functions (Fourier transforms, ray tracing etc.) in graphical form and have been very impressed with the ease Matplotlib can do this. However, all attempts to control or modify input to Matplotlib from a GUI (Tkinter, Wx, Jython, PyGTK etc.) have proved fruitless due to seeming incompatibility between these modules, particularly when one distributes any finished product to another platform. I am an experienced Java programmer who needs the portability and free technologies provided by Java (or Python) to distribute our applications and would like to know of the best way to mesh Matplotlib to a GUI creating system. We have experimented with the GUI creation possibilities of Matplotlib itself but these are inadequate for our needs. Does anyone know of (or has examples of) Matplotlib applications controlled by a GUI or must I return to my Java roots where I can easily solve all GUI problems but do not have access to a powerful maths library such as Matplotlib.
