PyX

PyX is a Python package for the creation of PostScript and PDF files. PyX combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX interface.

Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality are built out of these primitives.

Features:

• PostScript and PDF output for device independent, free scalable figures
• seamless TeX/LaTeX integration
• full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns, transformations, clipping, bitmap inclusion, 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.

What is new in this release:

• This version fixes drawing bugs in the gradient style for the recently introduced key graph.

What is new in version 0.12:

• This version adds a density graph style to create density plots.
• The color scale is shown by a separate key graph.
• The key graph feature has also been integrated into existing styles where appropriate, like in the 3D surface style.
• A rather large set of other additions and bugfixes all over the place complete this release.

Requirements:

• Python
