PyX is a Python package for the creation of encapsulated PostScript figures.
It provides both an abstraction of PostScript and a TeX/LaTeX interface.
Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality are built out
of these primitives.
Features
* PostScript output for device independent, free scalable figures
* seamless TeX/LaTeX integration
* full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns,
transformations, clipping, etc.
* advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations,
splitting, etc.
* sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes
partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles,
etc.
