[SciPy-user] Newbie issues in moving to SciPy

[Andy Main]

Thanks everyone for their input, I really do appreciate it.  I
especially like the pointer to John's Matplotlib work.  Thanks!  There
was just one thing that puzzled me a bit...  Nobody mentioned Chaco at
all.  Do people not consider it mature enough, or was it simply because
it is an obvious solution with SciPy.  I know that this is an enthought
list, but please give me some honest feedback (users and developers).
Also any FreeBSD experience would be nice (ie does it work!), I plan on
moving my work machine over to BSD in a few weeks.

Thanks,

Andy.

yes, it does require an X server on win32

the good news is that both Grace and XFree86 are now bundled with
Cygwin ("Cygwin - don't leave Unix without it", http://cygwin.com/)

even though XFree86 is certainly usable on win32, I must say I'm
partial to the non-free X server X-Win32 (http://www.starnet.com/)
