Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python-chart Version : 1.35 Upstream Author : Yasushi Saito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Yasushi_Saito/pychart/ * License : GPL Description : Python library for creating high quality charts
PyChart is a Python library for creating high quality Encapsulated Postscript, PDF, PNG, or SVG charts. It currently supports line plots, bar plots, range-fill plots, and pie charts. Because it is based on Python, you can make full use of Python's scripting power. Some comparable projects are * Dislin. Dislin does 3-D plots, but it's not as configurable or as pretty as pychart. * Ploticus. Ploticus inspired PyChart most. It can produce a very pretty output, but writing a script for Ploticus is incredibly cumbersome. * Gnuplot. A long-time favorite of researchers. But its output is not up to publishing standard, in my opinion. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (499, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.22 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
