7 <h1>PyX - Python graphics package</h1>
12 <img src="example.png" alt="3d plot example">
17 <p> 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 are built
20 out of these primitives. </p>
24 <li>PostScript output for device independent, free scalable figures</li>
25 <li>seamless TeX/LaTeX integration</li>
26 <li>full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns, transformations, clipping, etc.</li>
27 <li>advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations, splitting, etc.</li>
28 <li>sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles, etc.</li>
31 <h2>Status and Availability</h2>
33 <p> PyX is in steady development. Alpha releases are available
34 in the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=45430">download
