Graphite

Graphite is a Python graphing package. Graphite enable the creation of scientific, engineering, and business graphs. Some graph types to be included are line graphs, bar charts, function plots, polar plots, parametric plots, and mesh plots. Graphite can produce output for formats such as postcript, pdf, gif, Windows, QuickDraw, Tk by using the PIDDLE backend. It should run on any platform that supports Python.

To be honest, it's not at all polished and almost undocumented, but it works fairly well. It's big advantage is that you don't need a lot of compiled code, that the python API is pretty simple, and it is suited for completely automatic operation.

Requirements

Graphite probably works with Python 2.0 or higher. It requires Numeric Python, of some recent vintage. If you have PIL (Python Imaging Library), TK (and tkinter.py) or wXpython, you can get additional types of output and/or displays on screen.
