Step Chart Approach 1: XY Chart with Error Bars

One way to get horizontal and vertical lines from data points is with error bars. You don't need to add points to get the additional segments. However, you do need to add formulas to compute custom error bar values, and you need to assign error bars to the series. Because horizontal (X) error bars are needed, the chart must be an XY chart with its inferior date scale axis, not a Line chart.

Step Chart Approach 2: Line Chart with Repeated Ranges

Until recently I considered only two techniques for building step charts: the XY plus error bars approach described above, and manually (i.e., tediously) inserting extra data into the worksheet to allow for one point per corner. But in February 2006, Michel Gerday of Belgium described the following technique in the Microsoft Excel Charting newsgroup, and his technique automatically adds the extra data to a line chart.

Pretty-print tabular data in Python, a library and a command-line utility.

The interactive documentary Jheronimus Bosch, the Garden of Earthly Delights provides an in-depth tour though The Garden of Earthly Delights. In a web interface the visitor will be taken on an audio-visual journey, including sound, music, video and images to enrich the storytelling.

In this notebook, we cover the basics of probability theory, and show how to implement the theory in Python. (You should have a little background in probability and Python.) Then we show how to solve some particularly perplexing paradoxical probability problems.

If you want to interact with external programs from your Python applications, Sarge is a library which is intended to make your life easier than using the subprocess module in Python’s standard library.

Curio is our subjective, curated and continuously expanding collection of modern demoscene and real-time graphics pieces.

All are outstanding for one reason or another: some because they are spectacular and cutting edge, and some just because they feel right.
