Graphite
The Graphite project is hosted at sourceforge.net. For the Graphite mailing
list, cvs repository, releases, and forums goto the sourceforge
Graphite project page.
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.
