Python interface to IBM Data Explorer?? (DX/OpenDX)
Hello everyone,

Greetings from Rhode Island.

Has anyone developed a python interface (via SWIG or something else)
for the Data Explorer visualization system?
IBM recently made it "OpenSource", and it seems very useful to me.
There's a web site at http://www.opendx.org

thanks for any help,
Daniel Faken

i have been following the user and development email lists for DX for
a month or so, and havent heard anything like this yet.

the way DX gets built is there are all these library built first and
then major interface components get linked with these libs.

whether that means that these static libraries have well-enough
defined interfaces that we could SWIG 'em in, thats another.

i'd be interested in pursuing this further, if you wanna look at this
together.

Have you looked at VTK, the Visualization Toolkit? It already has Python
bindings ( as well as TCL, Java, and not to mention a great open source C++
library, several textbooks and an active community). It is at
http://www.kitware.com/vtk.html.
