	I don't know if this would help at all, but I've been having
good luck using a Java/Applet based graphing. I've been using NumPy in
Physics courses since the 0.3x days. I've incorporated David A.'s
docs. At one point I melded it with my Zinc based GUI module.. but now
I'm using more 'off the shelf' technology (i.e., Java) Point your
favorite Java enabled browser to

and look at some of the links there. The nice thing about this approach
is that you can make the resulting 'graph' more interactive. It might be 
pretty easy to come up with some applets that work nicely with NumPy, and
also allow lots of other cool stuff.
