Last week, we released the Enthought Tool Suite 3.6. John Wiggins made many improvements and bug fixes to Kiva, Enable, and Chaco. And thanks to Evan Patterson, the TraitsBackendQt now supports PySide (as well as PyQt4).
We are also happy to announce that immediately after the release, the ETS repository was moved from subversion to git, and is now hosted on github.
This new ETS will be included in EPD 7.0, which is Python 2.7-based and is scheduled to be released on February 8.
Variable sized scatter plots is a feature which was easy to implement, but Chaco had been lacking for far too long. Now you can create nice bubble charts, or whatever else you dream up. This was added at the last minute to the latest Chaco and ETS release, and I didn’t want to break anything, so its not yet integrated as well as I’d like it. Have a look at the example in advanced/variable_size_scatter.py to see how to implement it in your own plots. There is a debate in the office if the screenshot is of Champagne or bubblegum bubbles, what do you think?
