numpy is the successor to numarray and Numeric.  All three do
basically the same thing.  You should use numpy.

matplotlib works with all three, you just need to be sure to set your
"numerix" setting to "numpy" in your matplotlibrc file.

numerix      : numpy  # numpy, Numeric or numarray

On unix like OSes, this file is placed in ~/.matplotlib.  On windows
systems, it is usually found in C:\Documents and
Settings\yourname\.matplotlib
