[Pythonmac-SIG] (novice query) plots, graphs, charts on Mac w/ python

[Michael J. Barber]

Kevin,

I use gnuplot. There is a downloadable Gnuplot.py interface that is 
adequate. For gnuplot itselt, you can use a variety of plotting 
backends; the AquaTerm backend is nice for interactive work, and there 
are several good options for hardcopies. The documentation is solid, 
and there is a large selection of examples. I don't know about a 
tutorial, although there must be some -- I found it simplest to just 
adapt the examples to my needs.

Hope that helps,
Michael
