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.

Features:

• PostScript and PDF output for device independent, freely scalable figures

• seamless TeX/LaTeX integration

• full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns, transformations, clipping, bitmap inclusion, etc.

• advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations, splitting, smoothing, etc.

• sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles, etc.
