Re: [Matplotlib-users] send me your blurbs

[Benyang T. <ben...@jp...>]

I am current using Matplotlib in several projects, including a project of 
autonomous rough terrain vehicles, a project predicting California coastal 
winds, and a project that organizes earth science data from several NASA 
satellites. Matplotlib is very flexible and versatile, and has a well 
designed foundation. It is the best graphics package I have used in my 20 
years of research career. John Hunter and his army of volunteers did an 
excellent job developing Matplotlib in such a short time. But the software 
needs to be developed further to expand the capabilities. Money invested on 
developing Matplotlib will be well spent, and eventually will save the 
funding agencies because the scientists will not have to buy the expensive 
commercial softwares like Matlab and IDL.

I have heard several very positive comments on Matplotlib from our JPL Python 
community.
