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.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release fixes drawing bugs in the gradient style for the recently introduced key graph.


Release Notes: This release adds a density graph style to create density plots. The color scale is shown by a separate key graph. The key graph feature has also been integrated into existing styles where appropriate, like in the 3D surface style. A rather large set of other additions and bugfixes all over the place complete this release.


Release Notes: This release fixes a few bugs, most importantly the extension build process. The manual has been been ported to Sphinx.


Release Notes: This release contains a major reorganization of the text output code. Transparency in bitmaps is now supported, and limited functionality of the bar style is available in 3d graphs. Various bugs have been fixed and there are small improvements all over the place.


Release Notes: This release adds 3D plotting facilities using parallel or central projection. Two new graph styles, grids and surfaces, can be used in 3D graphs as well as some existing generic graph styles (symbols, lines, error bars, etc.). Several new examples, various other improvements, and some bugfixes complete this release.
