We're pleased to announce the release of PyX 0.9. This release features a new set of deformers for path manipulations like smoothing, shifting, etc. A new set of extensively documented examples describing various aspects of PyX in a cookbook-like fashion have been written. Type 1 font-stripping is now handled by a newly written Python module. Many other improvements and bug fixes are included in this release. What is PyX? PyX is a Python package for the creation of PostScript and PDF files. It combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality are built out of these primitives. For further information please visit http://pyx.sourceforge.net/ Jörg, Michael, and André
