[Matplotlib-users] A Question On Language

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

   I need clarification on the meaning of "GUI" within the matplotlib context.
To me, "GUI" means running the X Window System rather than working on
consoles. There are various window managers and virtual desktops within that
GUI, but it is just a graphical user interface.

   Within the matplotlib context, does "GUI" mean a widget set (e.g., GTK+,
wx), or a system for drawing vectors and bitmaps to the display?

   I've no problem with how it's being used, just as long as I know what is
meant when I read it and can translate it into my reference frame.

TIA,

Rich
