Veusz is a scientific plotting and graphing package written in Python.
It uses PyQt (Wiki) and Numpy. Veusz is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript/PDF output. Veusz runs under Unix/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
Veusz provides a GUI, command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. The plots are built using an object-based system to provide a consistent interface.
Features include:
* X-Y plots (with errorbars)
* Images (with colour mappings)
* Contour plots (filled/unfilled)
* Stepped plots (for histograms)
* Line plots
* Function plots
* Stacked plots and arrays of plots
* Plot keys
* Plot labels
* Shapes and arrows on plots
* LaTeX-like formatting for text
* EPS/PNG/PDF/SVG output
* Simple, CSV and FITS data importing
* Scripting interface
* Dataset manipulation
* Embed Veusz within other programs

Veusz is Software and is licenced under the GPL”

I’m just starting to have a play, but results look very professional so far.

Thanks Alan.

If I ever need to use graphs again I will turn to R before trying out anything else. Here‘s a graphical gallery showing off R’s graphical cababilities.
On the down side, R is pretty complex (overwhelming I dare say) to start from scratch, so if Veusz is sensibly simpler it might be worth keeping.
