Setup
We use the Eclipse IDE and PyDev to develop Python packages. If you want to setup your environment to match the one used here you will need to install:
- Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Python: http://www.python.org/download/
- PyDev: http://pydev.org/download.html
- EDP from Enthought: https://www.enthought.com/products/. It contains all you need to run MatPlotLib.
- Note: You should make the Python version installed by EDP as the default Python interpreter for Eclipse. To
