If you want to produce professional looking plots from data, then matplotlib or one of the Gnuplot wrappers (pyGnuplot, py-gnuplot, Gnuplot.py) are the most obvious choices. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It supports all graphics commands and screen modes of yesterday and can do them in a window on modern operating systems. As for Python, you may find that something like SDL or PyGame provides primitives that are not far off of what you had in GWBASIC all those years ago. As ChrisA has said, Python 2.7 is *not* recommended for any new projects. [1] https://www.freebasic.net/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There are quite a few libraries available, but my first guess would be matplotlib; and if you want something really fancy, manim can do incredible things.

Are there Python modules that allow a program to write to the screen?
Hi, I have old software written in GWBASIC that I use to plot diagrams on the screen. In Windows 10, I have to resort to using the DOSBox emulator to run it. I would dearly like to re-write it in Python - ideally Python 2.7. What, if anything, is available? Stephen Tucker. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
