I had a similar problem a while ago. My solution was to generate a bitmap (see the pyx.bitmap module documentation) from the normalised data, and then draw a graph on the same canvas on top of that, to get the labelled axes. (I also generated a key aside it using the same method.) These are the steps I took: 1. Read the data using graph.data.file or your preferred method. 2. Normalise and map the data into a bitmap string. Then convert that string to an image with bitmap.image 3. Create the graph object g, and do g.dolayout() 4. Create a bitmap.bitmap from the image with extents given by g.vpos(0, 0) and g.vpos(1, 1) 5. Insert the bitmap, then the graph, onto a canvas, and write to file. It wasn't as elegant or as automated as perhaps it could have been, but it worked for me.
