Résumé
Starting with the essential Python functions to set up a plotting space and produce 2 and 3-dimensional objects, you'll learn how to construct more complex objects, translate and rotate them, remove hidden lines, introduce shading to add realism, and project images to visualize any dataset. The final chapter includes several worked applications in science and engineering including planetary models, which you can adapt for your own use.
Written for developers who want to harness Python's capabilities to fine-tune their images, Python Graphics covers the different commands for plotting dots, lines, arrows, or arcs, creating custom plotting grids, correcting distortions, adding text and labels to illustrations, manipulating arcs and circles, specify and use colors, and more. Armed with these techniques and core math skills, you'll be ready to create and customize detailed technical illustrations or data visualizations.
What You'll Learn
- Use Python's built-in commands for plotting, removing distortions, and rotating objects
- Create and edit 2D and 3D objects
- Develop illustrations for scientific and engineering applications
Python developers looking for tips on how to create illustrations and visualizations, as well as scientists, engineers, or students using Python. It assumes familiarity with vectors, matrices, geometry and trigonometry.

He has been employed by Northrop Aviation, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Arthur D. Little, Itek and Worcester Polytech. He has consulted for Stone and Webster Engineering, Gould Inc, Wyman Gordon, CTI Cryogenics, the US Navy, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and others. Early in his career he developed software to find physical interference between systems of solid objects and draw 3-dimensional and stereographic views. This found wide application in the design of power plants, submarines and other systems with densely packed spaces.
