[Image-SIG] Data visualization

[W.T. Bridgman]

I've used PIL for generating images from numarray/numpy.

However, for plots, curves, and similar viz work, I've done some work  
with matplotlib or gnuplot-py when I needed interactivity.

For publication-quality postscript graphics, I've had good results  
with PyX (pyx.sourceforge.net).
