Graphics module for python

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new on python and I'm looking for a good graphics module, especially to draw histograms, pie charts and stuff like that. What would you recommend to me ?

From stackoverflow

• PyChart — http://home.gna.org/pychart/
  CairoPlot — http://linil.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/cairoplot-11/

• PyCha is pretty straightforward if you're just after the basic chart types.

• matplotlib is the standard for scientific data plotting. you can check out the gallery and see if it's the sort of stuff you're looking for.

  Dan : ahh beat me by seconds :-D I even had a link tot he gallery like you..

• The best out there is imoo matplotlib but wx has also a simple plot module if that's what you're using as a GUI.

• I have never use this but there is python interface to gnuplot.

• For completeness, if you want to simply manipulate images, you can use the Python Imaging Library (PIL).
