Writin...Well, the criticism was clearly justified. Writing out gif or jpgs directly from IDL is just asinine. The very least they could do is write out a postscript file and convert it to jpg or whatever. Then it might actually look nice.<br /><br />But, you still need to send me some python crap, so I can see what glorious magic you have created.madscientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344580670201524727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663779605937303424.post-46033578271147561232010-04-05T13:41:19.282-06:002010-04-05T13:41:19.282-06:00I'm sure after they go through the same discov...I'm sure after they go through the same discovery you have, that everyone will end up switching to Python eventually :)CricketPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812051192539562411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663779605937303424.post-13951443893610071102010-04-05T09:37:41.669-06:002010-04-05T09:37:41.669-06:00Irony duly noted; I can't argue with your poin...Irony duly noted; I can't argue with your point. <br /><br />Not that I can defend my own hypocrisy, but I must say that over the last year, I've worked with IDL, Matlab, Python's MatPlotLib, and a handful of GUI-based data viz tools, and have found Python to be the best combination of price (FREE!), capabilities (ALL OF THEM), and ease of use (I love object oriented now.)<br /><br /spacecatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522500697747783104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663779605937303424.post-87390619020709592732010-04-05T09:28:54.944-06:002010-04-05T09:28:54.944-06:00I find it ironic that you're criticizing other...I find it ironic that you're criticizing others for using IDL when it was not so long ago that IDL was the ONLY thing you would use :)CricketPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812051192539562411noreply@blogger.com
