Sorry for previous HTML only message. I still not find how to configure

??? Hello Jan (and other users)

I sometime (rather frequently) use Igor to visualize data gathered or
processed through python.

The simplest solution is to write (from python) an "Igor Text File" (.itx
extension).

Beside the data, this format allows to include any command you could type
from the command line.

Opening this file loads the data into Igor and plot it (through the included
commands).

If the data is "large", I recommend to write it in binary to disk (possibly
as HDF5)

along with an "Igor Text File" containing the commands to load this data and
to plot it.



I believe that python is (in some way) a powerful complementary tool,
convenient to use along with Igor
