The "Orgins of Matplotlib" section in Gary's CHM file contains the following paragraph from the "Introduction" page at <http://matplotlib.org/dev/users/intro.html>: """ When I went searching for a Python plotting package, I had several requirements: Plots should look great - publication quality. One important requirement for me is that the text looks good (antialiased, etc.) Postscript output for inclusion with TeX documents Embeddable in a graphical user interface for application development Code should be easy enough that I can understand it and extend it Making plots should be easy Finding no package that suited me just right, I did what any self-respecting Python programmer would do: rolled up my sleeves and dived in.
