Out of curiosity, I looked up       PV-Wave -- looks like the kind of thing you would do in NumPy these       days. Similarly in place of MATLAB you could use NumPy with       Matplotlib.              I did a GUI programming job in MATLAB once. Trying to fit GUI       functionality on top of a language primarily designed to work with       arrays/matrices was ... an experience I would not like to repeat.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
