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