developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Added Mark Athen's 'scale' patch, so that on a scaled axis a circle
looks like circle. See help(axis).
New cursor and span selector widgets
You can use use matplotlib event handling to register a callback after
figure draw using 'draw_event' which calls the callback with a
DrawEvent instance
Use 'f' to toggle full screen mode in the GTK backends.
Steve Chaplin has made numerous updates to the GTK and SVG backends.
Reorganized config files
Updated agg_test.py to demonstrate curved paths and fills.
Upgraded pyparsing and applied Paul McGuire's suggestions for speeding
things up. This more than doubles the speed of mathtext in my simple
tests.

matplotlib is a pure python plotting library designed to bring
publication quality plotting to python with a syntax familiar to
matlab users. A lot progress towards this goal has been made since
the first release of matplotlib, the library does produce high quality
2D plots. All of the plotting commands can be accessed either via a
functional interface familiar to matlab users or an object oriented
interface familiar to python users, and several high resolution output
formats are supported.
