How to draw a 3D graphic of a function?

hi
I want to draw a matrix of 100 X 100, its elements are the values of a function. Is there a package to draw the graphic in scipy? _______________________________________________ SciPy-user mailing list [hidden email] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user |

Have a look at the user guide, https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/attachment/wiki/MayaVi/user_guide.pdf?format=raw section "simple scripting with mlab", or "mlab reference" to see if you find what you want. If you need help installing Mayavi2, give me more details on your platform.

DISLIN (http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/) works well for surface plots, and comes with Python wrappers. Free for non-commercial use. I use it to draw surface plots on my curve and fitting web site http://zunzun.com - although I would rather use something else, DISLIN works and I can afford it (free for my use).

Hello,
You could use PIL to write the matrix out as an image and open it in an external viewer (the TIFF format supports 32-bit floating point data, and at least ImageJ can open these files fine), or use matplotlib to plot the matrix as an image, or use Gnuplot / gnuplot.py to display a wireframe/surface view of the matrix. This list is of course very incomplete, and none of the packages are in scipy. No matter though -- most are easy to get and install, and are quite useful. It's certainly worth the time to learn matplotlib and/or Gnuplot.

I recommend the PyX package, which is great for 2D plotting but can also
handle simple 3D plots as the one you are describing. www.pyx.sourceforge.net/examples/3dgraphs/index.html Cheers, bene Am Freitag, den 11.04.2008, 20:57 +0800 schrieb zhang chi: > hi > I want to draw a matrix of 100 X 100, its elements are the values > of a function. > > Is there a package to draw the graphic in scipy? > _______________________________________________ > SciPy-user mailing list > [hidden email] > http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user _______________________________________________ SciPy-user mailing list [hidden email] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user |

It is also typically in the 98th or 99th percentile in downloads on sourceforge and the developers are very active with adding new bindings and features. (Don't be put off by the rather dated looking example plots.)

I think that the whole 3D part of matplotlib is now broken. There are
discussions but not a lot of work yet as to how to get this functionnality back. Might be via VTK.... best, J. James A.

Might be via VTK.... There is a GSoC application for SymPy to integrating it's nice 3D plotting capabilities to matplotlib. In the meantime, you can try it out ourself, as described here: http://code.google.com/p/sympy/wiki/PlottingModule Ondrej _______________________________________________ SciPy-user mailing list [hidden email] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user |
