numpy provides fast operations for homogeneous data sets and
common mathematical operations like correlations, standard
deviation, fourier transforms, and convolutions.

PNG
Portable Network Graphics (`PNG

graphics format that employs lossless data compression which is more
suitable for line art than the lossy jpg format. Unlike the gif format,
png is not encumbered by requirements for a patent license.

Postscript (`PS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript>`_) is a
vector graphics ASCII text language widely used in printers and
publishing. Postscript was developed by adobe systems and is
starting to show its age: for example is does not have an alpha

raster graphics
`Raster graphics
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics>`_, or bitmaps,
represent an image as an array of pixels which is resolution
dependent. Raster graphics are generally most practical for
photo-realistic images, but do not scale easily without loss of
quality.

SVG
The Scalable Vector Graphics format (`SVG
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svg>`_). An XML based vector
graphics format supported by many web browsers.

Tk
`Tk <http://www.tcl.tk/>`_ is a graphical user interface for Tcl
and many other dynamic languages. It can produce rich, native
applications that run unchanged across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
and more.

vector graphics
`vector graphics
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics>`_ use geometrical
primitives based upon mathematical equations to represent images
in computer graphics. Primitives can include points, lines,
curves, and shapes or polygons. Vector graphics are scalable,
which means that they can be resized without suffering from
issues related to inherent resolution like are seen in raster
graphics. Vector graphics are generally most practical for
typesetting and graphic design applications.
