I posted the following to MacResearch, with no luck, but I'm hoping there are some Textmate users that might be able to help me:
Does anyone have any experience sending data to Igor Pro from python? I'm looking for a way to interface python to Igor Pro. I am using TextMate to write python code that writes a data file. I manually open the file with Igor Pro, set up a plot and then, when I re-run the python script to make a different data file, I want to send an instruction from python to igor to reload a data file, and that way Igor will automatically replot a graph. Apparently one can control Igor Pro via applescript (which I haven't learned yet), and there is a python package called appscript (http://appscript.sourceforge.net/) that can mimic applescript. So,
1) does anyone have a sample applescript that can tell Igor Pro to load a data file? 2) does anyone have an "appscript" (http:// appscript.sourceforge.net/) that would achieve the same end?
