As far as 2D plots are concerned I think matplotlib has been superior for some time now, but 3D plot support is only in the making (other options do exist, but I haven't tried MayaVi and co). However, if you've got a license for matlab anyway, you can also fairly easily use it from python and mix and match as required (see my mlabwrap module at <http://mlabwrap.sf.net>). E.g. do do a pretty surface plot from python, try: >>> from mlabwrap import mlab; from scipy import * >>> xx = arange(-2*pi, 2*pi, 0.2) >>> mlab.surf(subtract.outer(sin(xx),cos(xx))) Once matplotlib is up to the task, it should be easy to get rid of matlab dependencies in you code.
