Re: Matplotlib - an odd problem: "from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.axes import Axes
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import FigureCanvasGTKAgg as FigureCanvas

fig = Figure(figsize=(9, 9), dpi=100)
axe = Axes(fig, (0, 0, 1.0, 1.0))
axe.pie(range(5))
fig.add_axes(axe)

canvas = FigureCanvas(fig)
canvas.set_size_request(640, 480)

fig.savefig('foo.png')"

jtnimoy - Tron Legacy (2010): "After this project, I was fed up enough with wxWidgets and Carbon that I was ready to author my own OpenGL based UI. The most important thing I could use is a floating-point slider. I also got irritated with the way the Carbon sliders would not slide all the way to the minimum and maximum values. It totally messed with my zen thing. Also, after a job like this, it's clear that a member of the Processing community working within a CG community is greatly restricted by the differences of realtime graphics rendering engines, and that probably messes with an art director's zen thing."

jtnimoy - Tron Legacy (2010): "When fixing Quorra, there was an element in the DNA interface called the Quorra Heart which looked like a lava lamp. I generated an isosurface from a perlin-noise volume, using the marching cubes function found in the Geometric Tools WildMagic API, a truly wonderful lib for coding biodigital jazz, among other jazzes. The isosurface was then drawn along different axes, including concentric spheres. The app was mesmerizing to stare at."
