Best way to use Python to make 2d XY scatter graphs? Will TKinter do it?

matplotlib makes x-y scatter plots with circles of arbitrary size and
color

    from matplotlib.matlab import *
    
    ... x, y, size, and color are Numeric arrays ...
    scatter(x, y, size, color)
    show()

It doesn't (yet) support polygons, but this would be easy to add (I'm
putting it on my TODO list) -- http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net.  It
has the added benefit of interactive rescaling of axes with GUI
widgets, a postscript output, and more!
