Visual Python - Visualize graphs relating to a movement

Question

Hello, everyone!

I'm working with visual python on a project where I need to simulate a physical movement.

I'd like to present, in a different window than the one the actual, 3D sim is running, two graphs, both related to the movement:

• How the velocity and angular velocity progress over time.

• How the movement and rotation progress over time.

All these vars are refreshed once per cycle (inside a while(true))

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

If you're looking to do plots of live data you can use matplotlib. Here's a live plotting example:

It uses wx but matplotlib has bindings for QT or GTK. Alternatively you could use the rpy2 interface to hook into R which has an excellent plotting engine and may be slightly faster for large amounts of data.

I've accomplished what I wanted with gdisplay. Reference: here
