[Tutor] newbie graphing question

[Peter Petto]

I'm about to try some Python programming for drawing simple geometric 
pictures (for math classes I teach) and was hoping to get some advice 
that will send me off in the best direction.


I want to write programs that can draw figures with commands akin to 
point(x,y) to draw a point at coordinates (x,y), or segment 
(x1,y1,x2, y2) to draw a segment between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?


I'd appreciate recommendations as to the best facility or library to 
use to this end. I primarily use a Mac, but my students primarily use 
Windows.


I'd love to hear any and all pointers or comments. Thanks!

Title: Re: [Tutor] newbie graphing
question


Thanks so much to everyone who helped me with my gui/drawing
request. I appreciate the responses from Alan, bhaluu, James, and
Pierre, and am exploring all the suggestions I received.

At the moment, I have my immediate needs satisfied with Tkinter
-- easiest because it was already present on my Mac, Windows, and
Ubuntu installations.

Alongside the recommendations, I came across the the Python Imaging
Library, which I thought might also be worth mentioning in this
thread. It's documentation is the best "click" with my
brain; but I haven't tried it yet because installation on Mac &
Linux means I need to work from source; which I haven't been brave
enough to try, yet.

I am going to try my project with all the libraries suggested,
and if results vary -- I'll post the results.

Thanks again!
