matplotlib
matplotlib is a pure Python
2D plotting library designed to bring
publication quality plotting to Python
with a syntax familiar to MATLAB
users. All of the plotting commands in the pylab interface can be
accessed either via a functional interface familiar to MATLAB
users or
an object oriented interface familiar to Python
users.
The library uses numpy for handling large data sets and
supports a variety of output backends including GTK GTKAgg, GTKCairo,
FltkAgg, QtAgg, TkAgg and WXAgg.
matplotlib is designed with the philosophy that you should be
able to create simple plots with just a few commands, or even just one.
Features include:
- Generate:
- Plots
- Histograms
- Power spectra
- Bar charts
- Errorcharts
- Scatterplots and more
- Based on Python, a full-featured modern object-oriented
programming language suitable for large-scale software development
- Suitable for fast scripting, including CGI scripts
- Free, open source, no license servers
- Native SVG support
