  matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces
  publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and
  interactive environments across platforms.  matplotlib can be used
  in python scripts, the python and <a
  href=http://ipython.scipy.org>ipython</a> shell (ala matlab or
  mathematica), web application servers, and six graphical user
  interface toolkits. <p>

  matplotlib tries 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 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>
