[SciPy-user] is scipy OK for my needs?

[Michael Nathaniel Cantor]

Somewhere in this thread someone references using Matplotlib from within
wxPython.

I have done this successfully by embedding a plot in a wxDialog, so I can
open and close multiple plot windows as desired.  If you'd like the code,
e-mail me at mcantor at stanford.edu  (I check the mailing list posts only
sporadically).

Cheers,
-mike
