The first public release of PyXPlot [LWN.net]

The first public release of PyXPlot has been announced. "PyXPlot is a commandline graphing package, which, for ease of use, has an interface based heavily upon that of gnuplot -- perhaps UNIX's most widely-used plotting package. Despite the shared interface, however, PyXPlot is intended to significantly improve upon the quality of gnuplot's output, producing publication-quality figures. The commandline interface has also been extended, providing a wealth of new features, and short-cuts for some operations which were felt to be excessively cumbersome in the original. The motivation behind PyXPlot's creation was the apparent lack of a free plotting package which combined both high-quality output and a simple interface."
