  33 \noindent
  34 \PyX{} is a Python package to create encapsulated PostScript figures. It
  35 provides classes and methods to access basic PostScript functionality
  36 at an abstract level. At the same time the emerging structures are
  37 very convenient to produce all kinds of drawings in a non-interactive
  38 way. In combination with the Python language itself the user can just
  39 code any complexity of the figure wanted. Additionally an
  40 \TeX{}/\LaTeX{} interface enables one to use the famous high quality
  41 typesetting within the figures.
  42
  43 A major part of \PyX{} on top of the already described basis is the
  44 provision of high level functionality for complex tasks like 2d plots
  45 in publication-ready quality.
