Use python matplotlib to create 3D vector-based graphics, 3D vector graphics DIY

I drew the following graphs using Python and it's Matplotlib. If you are interested in the python code, they are here (not including the first gyroscope figure, will be added later). I am trying to improve the code into many functions/modules so that drawing can be convenient and automated. The part related to plotting starts from line 128, because this is just a portion of another bigger project. Just want to show this is not as time-consuming as one may think it is. We can create or draw beautiful vector-based graphs without buying expensive software like Adobe Illustrator or Acdsee Canvas. However as you can guess with this method you will need the numerical x,y,z locations of everything! (which is generated from yet another portion of the program!)

Scientific Workplace + Endnote Tricks

Last update 2/13/2013

Share some recent discoveries with the software Scientific Workplace 5.0

1. To work with Endnote. - this includes adding a 'Label' to the bib file using a convenient small Matlab function and in the Endnote the export 'bibtex style' you can remove the unwanted fields (like the 'note' field) that you don't want it to appreare in the typesetting bibliography library.

 Alright it is time to give the full story. Sorry for the late reply :p! Anyway. I don't know if bibDB in SWP(scientific workplace) fixed this problem yet. If not, then I guess it is still useful for me to write this down for those people fighting with this problem. If they did fix it, that's even better. Actually after I checked Mackichan website I found this written in 2006, which means they haven't fix it or it is still not a complete solution. So I think my post will still be useful.
