Other feature implemented in python backend for Cantor in last weeks was “append plot image to Cantor Workspace”.<\/p>\n

In other backends you can, optionally, generate a plot image and this image will be append in Cantor workspace, not generating a separated window to the picture.<\/p>\n

Below we have a command to generate a plot image in python using matplotlib and pyplot:<\/p>\n

\"python_command_to_plot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we have the result appended in Cantor workspace:<\/p>\n

\"python_plot_result\"<\/a>In python, to save a picture using pyplot, we type the command pyplot.savefig()<\/em>. But, if a picture was saved, it can not be shown in separated window. Otherwise, if a picture is shown in a separated window, it can not be saved to a file.<\/p>\n

To solve this problem, the python backend change the show() <\/em>command to savefig()<\/em>, with a random name to the picture. The image is saved in a temporary file and loaded in Cantor workspace.<\/p>\n

The option to load figure in Cantor workspace or to use a separated window is configured in python backend configuration screen. The default is to use separated window because matplotlib\/pyplot have several additional features in image screen.<\/p>\n

I would like to see some feedback from you, in special if you are a python developer. The code is hosted in python-backend branch from Cantor repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
