In case you missed it, I will be presenting a tutorial on matplotlib a this year's pycon. If you are coming to the conference, are are already in the Chicago area, you may want to consider signing up for the tutorial
http://us.pycon.org/2008/tutorials/ I think tomorrow is the deadline for registration. Here are some snippets from the proposal which covers the topic list and some additional info: = Intended audience = Tutorial attendees should be familiar with the basics of python and numpy. = Format description = The tutorial is a 20-30 minute overview of matplotlib capabilities, where the presenter will work interactively while explaining the main features and capabilities of matplotlib. After that, the rest of the tutorial will be interactive, hands on, exercises, that are will be a mix of "type-along" tutorial with students working through examples with help from the instructor. = Promotional summary = Matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, the python and ipython shell (ala matlab or mathematica), web application servers, and six graphical user interface toolkits. The tutorial will cover basic plotting from the python shell, and advanced topics like object oriented matplotlib, using matplotlib in a user interface or web application server and interactive event handling. = Tutorial outline = * 30 min: overview of capabilities and type along * 30 min: interactive graphics from the python shell * 30 min: object oriented matplotlib, web application servers and embedding matplotlib in GTK, Qt, Tk, FLTK or WX * 30 min: user interaction and event handling in matplotlib * 30 min: advanced topics * 30 min: question and answer = Presenter = The presenter is the original author and lea developer of matplotlib. After many years in academia, where he developed scientific python software for human intracortical epilepsy recording, he recently departed the confines of academia for the financial industry, where he continues to develop python based solutions for data analysis, modeling and visualization. = Previous presentations and tutorials = * SciPy 2004-6 : matplotlib presentations * PyCon 2005 : matplotlib presentation * SciPy 2006 : led tutorial on data analsysis and visualization with Fernando Perez * ChiPy : matplotlib presentation to the Chicago Python User's Group * UIC : scientific computing in python tutorial at Univ of Illinois Chicago * Py4Science : with Fernando Perez, teach 2 day seminar on scientific computing in python. Sessions at Los Alamos, UC Berkeley, Univ of Michigan, Claremont Colleges Hope to see you there!
