In order to do histograms and other graphing in the new GUI, we might want to think about using MatPlotLib.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
PyPlot in wxPython (requires numeric or numpy) is OK for line graphs and scatter plots, but is not as nice with histograms. MatPlotLib can do REALLY nice graphing. We’d need to decide if it was worth making this a dependency. It’s pure Python, so it should be pretty simple to include (i.e., no compiling). It has a Python Software Foundation license, which I think would be compatible with GRASS.
