<h2>Matplotlib</h2> 

  matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces
  publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and
  interactive GUI environments across platforms.  matplotlib can be
  used in python scripts, interactively from the python shell (ala
  matlab or mathematica), in web application servers generating
  dynamic charts, and embedded in GUI applications; see <a
  href=backends.html>backends</a>. <p>

  matplotlib trys to make easy things easy and hard things possible.
  You can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts,
  errorcharts, scatterplots, etc, with just a few lines of code.  For
  example, to make a histogram plot of data in x, you simply need to
  type

  <pre>
  >>> hist(x, 100)   # use 100 bins
  </pre>

  For the power user, you have full control of line styles, font
  properties, axes properties, etc, via an object oriented interface
  or via a handle graphics interface familiar to matlab users.  A
  summary of the goals of matplotlib and the progress so far can be
  found <a href=goals.html>here</a>.<p>

  The plotting functions in the <a href=matplotlib.pylab.html>pylab
  interface</a> have a high degree of Matlab&reg compatibility.<p>
