Veusz is a scientific plotting package written in Python (currently
100% Python). It uses PyQt for display and user-interfaces, and
numarray for handling the numeric data. Veusz is designed to produce
publication-ready Postscript output.
Veusz provides a GUI, command line and scripting interface (based on
Python) to its plotting facilities. The plots are built using an
object-based system to provide a consistent interface.
Changes from 0.7:
Please refer to ChangeLog for all the changes.
Highlights include:
* Datasets can be linked together with expressions
* SVG export
* Edit/Copy/Cut support of widgets
* Pan image with mouse
* Click on graph to change settings
* Lots of UI improvements
Features of package:
* X-Y plots (with errorbars)
* Images (with colour mappings)
* Stepped plots (for histograms)
* Line plots
* Function plots
* Fitting functions to data
* Stacked plots and arrays of plots
* Plot keys
* Plot labels
* LaTeX-like formatting for text
* EPS output
* Simple data importing
* Scripting interface
* Save/Load plots
* Dataset manipulation
* Embed Veusz within other programs
To be done:
* Contour plots
* UI improvements
* Import filters (for qdp and other plotting packages, fits, csv)
Requirements:
Python (probably 2.3 or greater required)
http://www.python.org/
Qt (free edition)
