Making Line Graphs

[Guest]

I'm looking for an easy way to display simple line graphs generated by
a python program in Windows. It could be done from within the
program, or I could write the information out to a file and call an
external program. Either is fine.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good program from
generating these simple graphs?

I've used gnuplot and rrdtool for this in recent projects. Rrdtool is
for ongoing time series and gnuplot is for more general graphing. I
looked at Timeplot too, which looks really neat, but I didn't try to use
it.

Have a look at Veusz, written in python: http://home.gna.org/veusz/

+1, I like matplotlib a lot. Consider python(x,y) as an easy install
path. It both shows plots interactively and let you save to file. I even
use it for publications.

+1 for matplotlib, incredibly powerful and (if you know a bit about
matlab)
easy to use.
The results are also graphically very nice...
