3 One of PyX's major strengths are its graph-plotting capabilities. PyX offers
4 you a flexible system which, while providing sensible defaults, allows you to
5 customize almost every aspect of the graph output. Such a flexibility comes at
6 a price, though: you need to learn at least a little bit about the different
7 components playing together in order to produce a graph. In this section, we
8 try to give you a gentle introduction to one component after the other by by
9 demonstrating how to plot various kind of data (from a file, a function mapping
10 x values to y values, a parametric function). Furthermore, we explain
11 how to do simple modifications to the axes of the graph and show how to add
14 After having gone through the introductory examples you should be able to
15 freely go through the following sections of the examples, which examples will
16 be devoted to a more detailed explanation of PyX's graph-plotting facilities.
17 In particular, you might want to learn about the customization of the graph
18 axes (see section [ Graph axes ../axis/index.html]), about further available
19 graph styles (see section [Graph styles ../styles/index.html]) and about
20 bar graphs (see section [Bar graphs ../bargraphs/index.html]).
