I did. But there's no manual, and the 'under construction' placeholders in the 'how do I?' and tutorial didn't give a great first impression. I see now there's a link to some example code, but it's a lot more intimidating than the matplotlib introductory stuff. > > Did you find http://code.enthou

Another big difference between matplotlib and chaco: matplotlib has online documentation, examples and tutorials. I couldn't find any documentation on Chaco when I was looking around for a python plotting program. If I had, who knows, maybe I'd be using Chaco now instead of matplotlib :) -
