PyPlane_v1.0.0
46d5a62

This is the initial release of PyPlane.

PyPlane runs either natively in a fully functional Python environment
under Linux/ Windows/ MAC or as a stand-alone executable under MS
Windows.

Prerequisites for running natively under Python

PyPlane runs under Python version 2.7 with the following packages
installed:

  • NumPy (tested under version 1.9)
  • SciPy (tested under version 0.15)
  • Matplotlib (tested under verison 1.4.3)
  • SymPy (tested under verison 0.7.6)
  • PyQt4 (tested under version 4.11.3)

An optionally installed and accessible LaTeX/ dvipng environment
produces much prettier results in the linearization tabs. If no LaTeX
is installed the program is still fully functional.

Call "python main.py" in the base directory of PyPlane in order to
launch the application.

Prerequisites for the stand-alone version

The stand-alone version is only available for MS Windows operating
systems on which no Python is installed. You just need to run the
provided installer file PyPlane_Setup.exe. It will create a directory
on your desktop in which all required files will be stored. A shortcut
for launching PyPlane will be placed on the desktop. No modifications
in the system registry will be done. As in the native Python version a
functional LaTeX installation will produce better formatting results
in the linearization tabs. But even without LaTeX the program is fully
functional.

Double-click on the PyPlane icon on the desktop in order to launch the
application. Start-up may take some time.

Open issues in version 1.0

  • PyPlane will not launch if it detects a fully functional
    LaTeX-environment in which the package type1cm.sty is
    missing. Please place this style package in your LaTeX-installation.
  • When having detected an equilibrium point the linearization tab is
    only shown if you double-click again on the detected equilibrium
    point.
