Sounds great! Maybe you can do a video showing it off? Is there an activity guide for Calculate? How can teachers best understand the power and possibilities of this amazing tool? <div class="gmail_quote"> On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 6:19 PM, Reinier Heeres <reinier@heeres.eu> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, I made a new release of Calculate. The most interesting part is that there is now support for matplotlib (mpl) as a plotting backend, giving much nicer results! This is not a required dependency; if mpl is not present Calculate will fall back on it's own built-in not-so-nice plotting routines. Give it a try: "plot(sinc(x),x=-4*pi..4*pi)"! On an XO you will need to update the bundle and do a "yum install python-matplotlib.i386". == Source == <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/Calculate/Calculate-30.tar.bz2" target="_blank">http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/Calculate/Calculate-30.tar.bz2</a> == Bundle == <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/Calculate/Calculate-30.xo" target="_blank">http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/Calculate/Calculate-30.xo</a> (should also be available soon on a.sl.o) == Fixed tickets == * Add support for matplotlib as plotting backend * Add support for complex plot ranges, e.g. -2*pi..2*pi * Fix superscript display bug Regards, -- Reinier Heeres Bleijenburg 64 2511 VD Den Haag The Netherlands Tel: +31 6 10852639 _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
