matplotlib For Mac

matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms.

matplotlib can be used in python scripts, web application servers, the python and ipython shell (ala matlab or mathematica), and six graphical user interface toolkits.

matplotlib trys to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, errorcharts, scatterplots, etc, with just a few lines of code.

For the power user, you have full control of line styles, font properties, axes properties, etc, via an object oriented interface or via a handle graphics interface familiar to matlab users. A summary of the goals of matplotlib and the progress so far can be found here.

The plotting functions in the pylab interface have a high degree of Matlab compatibility.
