Overview over graphics packages

[Janko Hauser]

May I suggest to take a look at gist and the OO wrappers for it. For
2D and modest 3D it is very fast. It does not work well together with
a GUI, but perhaps for realtime things it is also a possibilty to run
different python instances for different parts of the application and
use Pyro od Dopy to do the interfacing. It is not cross platform
(depends on X11) but generates good postscript, also for the 3D
stuff. In the long run graphite with a smooth path to VTK seems to be
a good combination.

HTH,
