Why not for Gnuplot, by the way?
On sceen, matplotlib looks extremely good, however, I still need
Gnuplot for the hardcopy version[*]. It *seems* to me that the
programming interfaces are quite different, so a Gnuplot backend for
matplotlib would be helpful for me.
Tschö,
Torsten.
[*] because of the "pslatex" backend, which means that the plot is
typeset by the same LaTeX run as your document --> consistent fonts,
TeX-quality formulae
