ANN: matplotlib-0.71

J

John Hunter

matplotlib is a 2D graphics package that produces plots from python
scripts, the python shell, or embeds them in your favorite python GUI
-- wx, gtk, tk, fltk currently supported with qt in the works. Unlike
many python plotting alternatives is written in python, so it is
easy to extend. matplotlib is used in the finance industry, web
application servers, and many scientific and enginneering disciplines.
With a large community of users and developers, matplotlib is
approaching the goal of having a full featured, high quality, 2D
plotting library for python.

What's new in matplotlib 0.71

numerix refactor

The organization of the numerix module was refactored to be mindful
of namespaces. See http://matplotlib.sf.net/API_CHANGES. pylab no
longer overrides the built-ins min, max, and sum, and provides amin,
amax and asum as the numerix/mlab versions of these. pylab defines
__all__ to prevent surprises when doing from pylab import *. To see
the complete list of symbols provided
