Plotting #2

Closed donald-pinckney closed 10 years ago

donald-pinckney commented 10 years ago

Opinions on including some plotting functionality? It would probably not be a random window popping up like in MATLAB, but maybe it could output to a PNG, or a UIView / NSView, which could then be embedded directly in the given app's view hierarchy?

This library is meant to be OS independent and the APIs for OSX and iOS are different. I just started developing this as a command line tool as I didn't want the overhead of running in the iOS simulator. Plus, this library is not meant for developing algorithms and only to help port algorithms from Python/Matlab to iOS (plus, I'm unsure how useful a graph would be).

That said, I do include some commented-out functions in swix/swix/swix/image/image.swift to resize an image and convert between a UIImage and RGBA array. I also include imshow which calls Python and assumes your computer has the full Pylab stack installed. I'll probably also add a commented out imshow to return a UIImage.

The graphing seems like something that would be great to have for playgrounds. But that's definitely going outside the bounds of the intent of this library.

Luckily, this library depends on the builtin Array. You can just call ndarray.grid to get all the plotting functionality that's builtin for Arrays.

Great!
