Hi all, Earlier this week Karl wrote about the Beta release of PyFerret, http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2012/msg00250.html You may be wondering where this development is leading. PyFerret is the future of Ferret. It will get us a vast library of new functions in math and statistics, and gives us a path to improved graphics. The first of those benefits will be more graphics-output types including png and pdf. Python programmers can run Ferret from within Python. Ferret users can run Ferret and call Python functions using Ferret syntax. Even if you're not familiar with Python, it's worth taking a look at what's in the PyFerret documentation to see what's there. The URL is http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/pyferretIf you're intrigued, we encourage you to give it a try and send us your feedback. The more we hear from you the more we can provide what you need. So what about "classic Ferret"? For the moment, we are on a path of parallel development, with at least one more classic Ferret release slated for early summer. It will include:
Happy Ferreting! Ansley |
