Graphics-related issues are user interface stuff and as such will always be handled at the python level (= where all the interpretation of physical data happens). (I do, however, occasionally think about adding some debugging feature that allows me to create an image from a sparse matrix showing where the nonzero entries end up. But this would be only for debugging.) -- best regards, Thomas Fischbacher t.fischbacher@soton.ac.uk
