[Tutor] how to graph percentile -- matplotlib, Inkscape, or what?

[David]

Yes, you are right, I initially certainly didn't think of it as a function.
Right now I am wondering if it would not be more straight forward to 
take for the 'axis' a bitmap background and place the needle (another 
bitmap) at the right position of the background. Come to think of it, 
PyX might be a good choice for this sort of thing. But again, I have not 
practical experience with that tool.
