Expanded Analysis with the Power of Python
Python is a powerful open-source, object-oriented extensible programming language. Python scripting was added to Tecplot Focus specifically for engineers who require additional analysis (FFTs, splines, statistical functions, etc.) or more scripting flexibility than macro writing/recording. Additionally, you can run your scripts on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms. Python offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools and comes with extensive standard libraries. Tecplot Focus 2008 users can now leverage the extensive set of open-source libraries that are now available. The SciPy and NumPy scientific computing libraries are included, along with the Tk library for simple GUI development.
Some key features are:
» Unique, multi-frame layout
» Macros and automation
» XY, 2D, and 3D plotting (vector, scatter, contour, polar)
» High quality vector and raster output
New User Interface
» Streamlined layout with improved access to important features.
» Double-clicking buttons acts as a shortcut to the function’s details menu.
» Bounce and loop features were added to the animation options.
» Improved animation options for slices and iso-surfaces.
