  Description     : Simple backend-independent plotting for PDL

PDL can plot through a plethora of external plotting modules. Each module
tends to be less widely available than Perl itself, and to require an
additional step or two to install. For simple applications ("throw up an
image on the screen", or "plot a curve") it is useful to have a subset of all
plotting capability available in a backend-independent layer.
PDL::Graphics::Simple provides that capability.

PDL::Graphics::Simple implements all the functionality used in the PDL::Book
examples, with identical syntax. It also generalizes that syntax - you can
use ::Simple graphics, with slight syntactical differences, in the same
manner that you would use any of the engine modules. See the Examples below
for details.

The plot you get will always be what you asked for, regardless of which
plotting engine you have installed on your system.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
