Hi John, (sorry for the tardy reply) > Have you tried the official docs?

I read the ./ review, and there was a post on the general python mailing list too - it looks promising. I'll have to see if I can find a copy to browse it myself. I've really been impressed with this software (usually I'm a big fan of gnuplot). By the way, any idea how different the MayaVi interface is? I understand that matplotlib doesn't do 3D plots and I may want to plot some.
