The library provides a "pylab" interface which is procedural +and based on a state machine, like OpenGL. There is also an OOP +interface which has less thorough documentation and greater complexity. +Using the OOP interface, matplotlib plots can be embedded in +applications using generic GUI toolkits like wxPython, Qt or GTK. + +Matplotlib requires NumPy, which is also available at SlackBuilds.org. +Also, pygtk is an optional dependency. |
