17 PyX is a Python package for the creation of encapsulated PostScript
18 figures. It provides both an abstraction of PostScript and a TeX/LaTeX
19 interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality
20 are built out of these primitives.
26 <li>PostScript output for device independent, free scalable figures</li>
27 <li>seamless TeX/LaTeX integration</li>
28 <li>full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns, transformations, clipping, bitmap inclusion, etc.</li>
29 <li>advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations, splitting, etc.</li>
30 <li>sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles, etc.</li>
33 <h2>Status and Availability</h2>
36 PyX is in steady development.
