Re: [matplotlib-devel] Q-Q Plot

[Paul H. <pmh...@gm...>]

Damon,

When the current state of the relevant python libraries, scipy is
required to create a QQ plot. Therefore, matplotib will never be able
to natively make QQ or probability plots. I've got a PR into the the
statsmodels project to do just what you need (and more!).
https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/pull/412

It'll probably be a while before I get that PR up to par with the rest
of statsmodels, so in the meantime, I suggest you use the existing
functionality in statsmodels or roll your own.

Good luck,
-paul
