Hello! Welcome to the wxPyWiki, (pronounced wix-pee-wi-kee) a collaborative document evolution system for the wxPython project, implemented using MoinMoin. Anyone can edit content here, you just have to follow TheRules or risk facing the RathOfRobin ;-) .
I've always found that best way to learn is by doing and then experimenting and tweaking with what's been done. So download and install wxPython, fire up your favorite text editor and get ready to play along as you read the next few sections.
PyX is a Python package for the creation of PostScript and PDF files. It combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality are built out of these primitives.
This is the Python wrapper for the solver. It calls the optimization solver (GENCAN for bound-constrainted problems and ALGENCAN for general nonlinear programming problems).
