Mostly I've heard bad things about matplotlib under Python. Lots of
good features, but buggy and a bit of a memory hog. How did you find it?

I've used gnuplot for several projects and found it very flexible.
Gnuplot is also handy because it's easy to feed it commands over a
pipe. I also recommend the "Gnuplot In Action" book - it saved me a
ton of time. I have also used matplotlib within Python.
For more interactive graphs I've played with the Processing
environment a bit, but not enough to provide a useful comparison with
the other tools.

Hi List,
Anyone out there using something other than rrdtool for creating
graphs?? I
have a project that will need a trend taken, and unfortunately rrdtool
doesn't fit the bill. All of the scripting, data collection,
database archival, etc will be custom written or is already done
(with some
hacks of course :). So really what i'm looking for is something along
the
lines of GNUplot. Has anyone used it before and would like to share
experiences?? Seems like it will be able to my plot data accordingly,
but
wanted to see if there were any other popular tools I've yet to come
across.
(Open-Source only please)
TIA,
