[Matplotlib-users] Using matplotlib with Django

[Aarthi R. <aar...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am very new to python, so sorry if the question is basic.

I am also very new to Django. I followed the instructions on
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/ through tutorial 4
to set up a sample webpage and play around with it.

I would like to generate plots via matplotlib and display the png files on
the webpage. However, I am not sure where to start. I looked at the
cookbook here:
http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django

but I was not sure which urls.py the recommended change needs to be made to
and where charts.py should go.

Does anyone know how to embed an image in a webpage. Is there a step by
step tutorial I could follow. I found some tutorials but they were dated
and do not work with the latest versions. I am using for python 2.7.5,
matplotlib u'1.4.x' and django 1.6.2.

Thanks,
Aarthi

I use django and matplotlib quite a bit at my work. I can probably help 
you. It is pretty easy to set up with a few basics.

I am actually thinking of contributing to the documentation on this.

Unfortunately, my code is at work, so I can give the best concrete 
examples right now. However, basically, I import StringIO and output the 
the results from from matplotlib to StringIO. I then convert the 
StringIO to a base64 string, and then pass this string to my template. I 
can create dynamic images this way.

Sorry I am so vague, but if you email me back, I promise to follow up.
