There is something that would be very useful would be if you could find or
point me to an example using VTK or mayavi which draws a surface and a
scatterplot using the python interface.
VTK has a really steep learning curve, and if you can post "hello world" in
VTK that would be very useful.
Thinking though the design a bit. What I was thinking of doing is to use the
TimeSeries template and create a TimeSeries of sampled curves or a TimeSeries
of functions. This could then be inserted into an interpolator which would
return a surface which could be plotted by an external function.
There also may be a need for a Curve object that does the same thing as
Surface (i.e. provide an external standard interface for 1-d objects). Curve
would require an Interval.
The way that I was thinking of moving forward was to create a TestSurface
object which just plots a 2-d sinusodial function. Get the SWIG bindings
working, and then try to use that Surface to plot a hello world surface.
Once I can see what I'm doing, then we can attach the Surface object to the
rest of QuantLib and start ploting volatility surfaces or interest rate yield
curves.
