Graphical library - charts
Hello, I have thousends of files with logs from monitoring system. Each file has some important data (numbers). I'd like to create charts using those numbers. Could you please suggest library which will allow creating such charts ? The preferred chart is line chart. Besides is there any library which allow me to zoom in/out of such chart ? Sometimes I need to create chart using long-term data (a few months) but then observe a minutes - it would be good to not create another short-term chart but just zoom-in. Those files are on one unix server and the charts will be displayed on another unix server so the X-Window protocol is going to be used. Any suggestions ? Best regards przemol -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It is quite excellent for easily creating simple charts. There is also Gnuplot which is more advanced and complicated. Both tools have python bindings. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

They are intended for embedding in a web page with the url being part of an image element. While interesting for that, they may not be what you want for your app The largest size is well less than full screen. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Graphical library - charts
I suggest you look at matplotlib. It's a bit of a learning curve but will do whatever you need. I have a similar requirement and found that gnuplot did not work for me. The plots are impressive.

I've used Quickplot (http://quickplot.sourceforge.net/) for similar purpose. It's not the most elegant solution since the chart viewer is external, not embedded to your program, but it works, zooming and all. You simply need to create a program that convert the log file into list of points and pipe it to quickplot or save it into a file and point quickplot to it (look at the command line options). The chart navigation is a bit unusual, but is efficient to work with once you get used to it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Graphical library - charts
I suggest you look at matplotlib. +1 Another vote Matplotlib. It has impressive graphing/plotting capabilities and is used as a Python module/library. Description from site: 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. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ -Corey Goldberg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
