INTRODUCTION: matplotlib is a pure python 2D plotting library with a Matlab(TM) syntax which produces publication quality figures using in a variety of hardcopy formats (PNG, JPG, TIFF, PS) and interactive GUI environments (WX, GTK) 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, or embedded in GTK or WX applications; see backends. 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 of data in x, you simply need to type >>> hist(x, 100) # use 100 bins 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 at http://matplotlib.sf.net/goals.html. REQUIREMENTS: python 2.3+, and numpy (http://numpy.scipy.org/). Other requirements are backend dependent. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html. If you are using python2.3, you'll also need to install setuptools; just download http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py and run it. INSTALL The latest installation instructions can be found at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html and for backend specific install information see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html If you want to use matplotlib interactively from the prompt, see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html EXAMPLES See the examples in the examples dir. To see examples scripts with the outputs they produce, see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html AUTHOR John D. Hunter <jdh2358@gmail.com> Copyright (c) 2002-2007 John D.
