Re: [matplotlib-devel] web gui
I would be interested in seeing the screencast. For the websocket, are you using Comet (which is what we use for our live data through the used of orbited and STOMP, so I could see being able to do interactivity, but thought it would be too slow for interactivity, which is why we went with FLOT and were planning to start adding functionality--legends, etc.), or the new proposed html5 websocket?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] web gui
Hi William, We are using the HTML5 websocket as proposed in draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-75. This is supported by Chrome 4/5 and now Safari 5. This standard is evolving and Chrome 6 onwards will be using draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-00 which simplifies the syntax somewhat but does break our current implementation. Our websocket server is based on the pywebsocket code produced by the Chrome developers. Our first version used a persistent AJAX style connection which was pretty flaky, websockets seem to work much better and give good speed. As Ludwig mentioned we can achieve pretty good frame rates in animated plots (easy animation without local threading issues was the primary driver for developing this in the first place). Obviously it does depend somewhat on the bandwidth available between the web client and the server, but certainly for local/LAN connections everything is pretty snappy. We still have some issues to work out with plots that use large numbers of markers as there are no HTML5 primitive constructs available (as they are in SVG) to speed up drawing the same object multiple times. I will try and add a screencast to the demo page by early next week.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] web gui
Hi, Simon Ratcliffe (the other Ratcliff :-)) and myself are working on an MPL backend that uses the HTML5 Canvas element. It is nearly done and soon to be released, once we get permission from our employer to release it under an open-source license. It does zooming and pretty good animation as well. It also has no additional dependencies except for Matplotlib and currently runs on the latest HTML5-compliant browsers (Chrome 4+, Safari 5, IE9 when released, Firefox nightlies). Some idea of its functionality can be seen at http://genotrak.webfactional.com/mplh5canvas/. We will keep the list updated on its progress.

[matplotlib-devel] web gui
Hi, could someone please point me to the latest status of the web gui? I am now in LLNL and I don't have a root access to my computer (running rhel5), and there is no Tk, nor Tkinter Python modules. I have installed femhub, so I have the whole python stack, but I don't have any gui. Mpl can save figures to a file, so at least something. But I am missing the zoom feature. I found the following cool libraries: http://www.sencha.com/ http://raphaeljs.com/ http://g.raphaeljs.com/ that work perfectly in my browser (FF3). So I wondered how hard it would be to use them as an mpl backend? All I need, I think, is just simple plotting, and zoom (+pan). I could adapt for example: lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py but it seems quite involved. Is there some simple thing, that would just work for me, that I could start adapting for the web gui? I would imagine that show() would launch a web server and tell the user to go to localhost:8080 or something and then the gui would be in the browser. The browser can even be opened automatically.

I doubt that you could make zoom/pan fast while going through a web interface, without substantial changes to mpl. As an alternative, can you install gtk and pygtk from tarballs, in locations you control? I haven't tried it, so I have no idea how painful it would be; but if it works, you would have a fully-functional mpl. Actually, on RH, I'm sure the gtk libraries are already there, so it would be a question of whether the -devel rpms are also installed. If so, all you need would be pygtk, and that should be easy. I presume you have already tried to get IT support to install things like pygtk. Eric I could adapt for example: lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py but it seems quite involved.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] web gui
www.reflectometry.org/flot/examples has some examples with zooming for flot. These seem ok for speed using firefox...How many data points?

Well, if you can send me something to start from, that'd be awesome. I have put my initial code here: http://github.com/certik/jsplot it uses django + raphael. Now I need to write a simple MPL like api, and also implement zoom somehow. I think I'll make it work for my purposes soon hopefully. These guys already implemented zoom in the flotr library: http://phenxdesign.net/projects/flotr/examples/prototype/mouse-zoom-preview.html So maybe I'll just use that. In FF3 it's terribly slow though... Ondrej -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway. ONE MASSIVE PRIZE to the lucky parental unit.
