I am thinking about writing a program which will involve, among other things, displaying a plot of a series of numbers. The idea is that you could click on the points and move them to change the numbers. Reverse-plotting, I suppose. It need not be complex; the numbers will all be zero or one, and it's only necessary to flip the bits, so click-and-drag is seriously overkill. Really it would be better to just double-click on a point to switch it from one value to the other.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have written some programs in python before, including TKinter, but this new project is beyond the point that I know where to even start looking. :) In case you care, the application is in functional brain imaging; the brain scans generate a certain number of time points (say 500) and then the motion of the subject is also calculated. Standard practice is to generate a "censor" file composed of zeros and ones, where zero indicates that that time point had excessive motion and must be disregarded. I want to display a graph of the motion over time, and allow quick and easy interactive editing of the censor time series in visual parallel to the motion graph. This would save a lot of time; at present everyone does this in Excel, which being a horrible Windows program can't be integrated into the predominantly UNIX-based processing pipeline. And in any case, it requires manually typing all the zeros, looking back and forth between the graph of motion and the list of numbers. I have already written a program to algorithmically generate the censor time series from the motion data, but it is absolutely essential to be able to manually double-check and if necessary make minor edits. I'd like to be able to keep that functionality in Python rather than sending everyone back to Excel... if possible! Thanks very much for any help. -- -dave---------------------------------------------------------------- "Pseudo-colored pictures of a person's brain lighting up are undoubtedly more persuasive than a pattern of squiggles produced by a polygraph.
