SVGFig allows you to draw anything you can express in Python. - -SVGFig is particularly suited to handle non-linear geometries. All -lines, including the coordinate axis, curve if passed through a -non-linear coordinate transformation, and coordinate systems can be -nested in trees. This generalizes all the tools necessary for making -plots, so it is easy to create polar plots of radial data, Hammer-Aitoff -projections of the sky, translations in hyperbolic spaces, or experiment -with new representations. - -SVGFig also maintains a convenient representation of SVG images as -Python constructs, so you can load graphics from SVG files, dissect -them, manipulate them with an automated script, and save them in batch. - -WWW: http://code.google.com/p/svgfig/ |
