SciPy - free as in freedom

This is one to watch. It works with GnuPlot. I was getting pissed at
the Tcl/Tk interface to SciLab (which is nice) when I found it.

Figure that wxWindows (wxWidgets) and wxPython make cross platform
C/C++ and Python apps trivial. wxGlade generates GUIs for both in
XML - also pretty trivial.

SciPy writes MATLAB files, too.

So maybe while I wait for SciPy to evolve, I can write wxWindows C++
or python GUIs that invoke the SciLab engine. I thought that out
loud in case anyone's interested in a path of least resistance.

Question...

See Lena? She's the same girl in C++ Algorithms for Digital Signal
Processing, 2nd Ed., Embree * Danieli

Does anyone know the history of this girls picture? Is she some kind
of groupie that coders use for their pubs? She's certainly
photogenic. Can I use her? Does she shoot pool?

Nothing like free girls... open source... open... arms? Yeah.

If you were to look back in the signal processing literature, you'd find
that Lena's photo has been used for many years - long before the days of
C++. Her photo is one of many photos used repeatedly in image processing. A
(very) brief history of the photo and its use is available at these sites:

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/editor.html
http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~lmpo/lenna/Lenna97.html

The full photo, which includes much more of Lena, is available in various
places on the web, including from a link in the second web site above. Or,
you can scour your favorite used bookstore for the November 1972 issue of
Playboy magazine. Google for "Lena image-processing" or "Lena
signal-processing" for more information.

Indeed. Love that ass.

Even now the old gal's got a nice face. I'm guessing she's also a
nice lady.
