[GRASS-dev] graphing and histograms in Python GUI

[Michael Barton]

In order to do histograms and other graphing in the new GUI, we might  
want to think about using MatPlotLib.

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

PyPlot in wxPython (requires numeric or numpy) is OK for line graphs  
and scatter plots, but is not as nice with histograms. MatPlotLib can  
do REALLY nice graphing. We'd need to decide if it was worth making  
this a dependency. It's pure Python, so it should be pretty simple to  
include (i.e., no compiling). It has a Python Software Foundation  
license, which I think would be compatible with GRASS.
