Hi there,
I am using SBCL 1.0.27 on OS X. I need some visualisation package for a
numerical model. What are the best options?
I searched the net extensively and it seems nothing is anywhere close to
matplotlib for python.
Thanks.

nlisp supports gnuplot on sbcl (and I believe one of the developers
uses it on OS X).
The catch is that nlisp's plot commands accept only nlisp's data
structures (objects that store the data). But that layer is not
overly complex.
If you do decide to try it, download the development version, and join
the mailing list. Questions are answered fairly promptly.

Can't you just pipe it to GNU Plot?

There are in fact 6 Common Lisp interfaces to gnuplot. (ggogled "gnuplot
commonlisp"")

Including the source code I posted here about 2 weeks ago.
The OP never goggled anything, another add to the troll list.

Unfortunately, if you really want to do similar things as the OP
described, you'll need a better framework than GNUplot, which is
fairly primitive and can't be easily extended, from a design
perspective. One can hack through it, but it's still not the same.
Now a robust set of full blown hacks plus a decently flexible UI might
be another thing, but I've not seen that yet, and I've been looking
for that for a while now (trying to put together a set of packages
with similar functionality with R/MATLAB without losing the wonderful
lisp-y sense of Common Lisp).
There are "gold standards", and there are hacks.

Please be sensible. How do you know that I've never googled!
I am not just looking for a plotting package. Otherwise I'd just state
that. I put matplotlib in the title, so that people who are willing to
help can have a concrete idea the quality of package I'm looking for.

There are a few options. One, use RCLG or RCL to plot using R
straight out of SBCL.
Another possibility is CL-PLPLOT, but I'm having problems with it core-
dumping (well, the FFI gets confused, I need to look at debugging so I
can send a bug report to the authors or personally fix it). The basic
problem is that I can generate one plot (and there is almost enough
functionality to do a good deal of what matplotlib can do) before the
FFI gets weird and we must restart the lisp. This on SBCL, Debian
unstable (and on an eeepc 701). You would need to install the PLPLOT
libraries. But this allows (before it craps out) generation of
results in nearly any format needed. So if it worked for generating a
few plots, it would be a great system, but I (or someone else) will
need to figure out the memory leak/reference error confusion.
I need more hours in the day!

RCLG and RCL are nice though I have yet to install R on my system.

PLPLOT looks great and it is actively being developed. So I am
interested if you get a working Common Lisp-plplot. Thank you.

I think it might be worth just trying CL-PLPLOT -- the problems could
be due as much to my setup as to the code... (I found it reasonably
quick to see the error, i.e. minutes, not hours :-).

Hi Leo,
I cleaned up the library I have been developing for a while, and made
it available under the LLGPL. See
http://tkpapp.blogspot.com/2009/05/announcing-cl-2d.html
for pretty pictures and the announcement.
Cl-cairo2 has had an OS X backend for a while, provided by Kei Suzuki,
if you want to visualize on the screen. I have never used it, but I
think it should work.

I look at your blog, the drawings look clean and beautiful. I haven't
gotten Cairo installed yet but I will definitely try it later on. Thank
you.
