+Matplotlib is a plotting library for Python which uses syntax similar to
+MATLAB. The library provides a "pylab" interface which is procedural
+and based on a state machine, like OpenGL. There is also an OOP
+interface which has less thorough documentation and greater complexity.
+Using the OOP interface, matplotlib plots can be embedded in
+applications using generic GUI toolkits like wxPython, Qt or GTK.
+
+Matplotlib requires NumPy, which is also available at SlackBuilds.org.
+Also, pygtk is an optional dependency.
