Re: [Matplotlib-users] mpl command-line utilities

[Jakob G. <ga...@il...>]

I totally agree with to general opinion that a command line tool would be beneficial.
I've written a simple mpl commandline plotter quite some time ago and use it frequently for
quick previews but also to create simple plots for presentations. It features some options to
modify the appearance just like GNU/graph.
If somebody wants to give it at try, I've attached the script.
