PyX allows to generate publication quality postscript and pdf. Convince yourself by looking at the examples
PyX is extremely flexible and well designed, see the documentation (pdf and FAQ).
However, for slightly more complicated graphs the code can become very extensive. PyXgraph tries to address this problem by setting up some routines to make plotting simpler.
Notes:
- documentation needs to be written
- not everything is implemented yet
- addition of new features etc. is very welcome
- the file TODO contains a list of things which should be done. In addition many FIXMEs are scattered throughout the code...
These are the places where your contributions are needed!!
Just set your PYTHONPATH accordingly:
export PYTHONPATH=path_to_the_PyXGraph_directory:$PYTHONPATH(You can put the above line into your .zshrc)
Note that the examples work without this.
So far none. Study the examples in the examples directory.
If imagemagick (for convert) and rest2html are installed, on Linux just do:
cd examples
python make_html.pyand point your web-browser at the resulting examples.html.
Get the latest release (currently 0.10) from http://pyx.sourceforge.net/ (or from your linux distribution).
