Introduction to the (beta) Python development

This section is the PrestoPlot Python documentation. It is about using Python scripts to pilot PrestoPlot and make it do what you want.

Python scripts can be used to automate some tasks, integrate plot generation in your workflow, or extend PrestoPlot capabilities. Some of the capabilities are (but not limited to) :

• Loading custom files
• Loading and altering datasets
• Connect to real-time system and display real-time plots
• Handle and modify graphs
• Generate image files
• Handle PrestoPlot files (models, graphs, ...)

Please note that the API is still in a beta state.
