"""An example of how to use IPython1 for plotting remote parallel data
|
|
|
|
|
|
The two files plotting_frontend.ipy and plotting_backend.py go together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run this example, first start the IPython controller and 4
|
|
|
engines::
|
|
|
|
|
|
ipcluster -n 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then start ipython in pylab mode::
|
|
|
|
|
|
ipython -pylab
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then a simple "run plotting_frontend.ipy" in IPython will run the
|
|
|
example. When this is done, all the variables (such as number, downx, etc.)
|
|
|
are available in IPython, so for example you can make additional plots.
