Unicode string in python-plplot?

[Wojciech Zabolotny]

Hi All,

I have to build some relatively complex plots using the Python script.
It seems to me, that the python-plplot is a good library, allowing to
produce both: screen plots for interactive use, and the PostScript plots
for publication purposes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the unicode strings (or at least
I don't know how to use it with unicode strings).
Has anybody succeeded to produce the plots with unicode strings using the
python-plplot?
Could someone please send any demo code?

You might want to try matplotlib. I don't specifically know about its unicode
support, but I'd guess it's either there or can be added if you point out
problems. Matplotlib is very actively developed, and has a really clean
interface which allows interactive and off-line plots, as well as being
available as a widget you can embed in your own Tk, GTK or WX apps.
